Midorikawa Shuzo, established in 1884 (Meiji 17), is a highly skilled brewery located in Uonuma City, one of Niigata's heaviest snowfall areas. As its name (Green River) suggests, it is surrounded by lush green mountains and has continued brewing based on 'sincerity and honesty' by a clear stream for over a century.
Essential to discussing Midorikawa's sake is the aesthetic of maturation through thorough 'storage management.' By aging the rough edges of freshly-pressed sake slowly at low temperatures over time, they sublimate it into a smooth finish with rounded maturity.
Their stance of valuing 'the pursuit of quality' over flashiness has earned immense trust from local sake lovers. The clarity and deep flavor brought forth by Uonuma's severe cold, pure water, and the quiet passion of the brewers are truly the essence of Echigo's famous sake.
