Sake Ichiban

Sake Ichiban is the flagship brand of Yamato Shuzo, a local sake brewed in the rich natural environment of Yamato Town. It uses subterranean water from the Aso mountain system and locally grown sake rice, with brewing that takes advantage of the cool highland climate. It has a slightly dry taste with a clean mouthfeel and a well-balanced sake quality that harmonizes the crispness with the umami of rice. The flavor is designed to pair well with Yamato Town's regional cuisine, complementing local food culture including wild mountain vegetables and river fish dishes. It embodies the philosophy of community-rooted sake-making, delivering a bottle in which one can taste the natural blessings of Yamato Town.
