Dewazakura Dewanosato Junmai

Dewazakura Brewery is one of the most celebrated sake producers in Japan — a kura based in Tendo, Yamagata Prefecture, in the Tohoku region of northern Honshu, where the cold climate, pure snowmelt water, and locally grown sake rice combine to produce some of the country's most distinctive and expressive sake. Dewazakura is widely credited with helping spark the modern ginjo revolution in Japan, and their commitment to quality and craft remains as strong as ever.

Dewanosato is their signature Junmai — a pure rice sake made without added alcohol, expressing the full, rounded character of Yamagata's Dewanosato rice variety (from which it takes its name) and the clean, soft water that defines the brewery's style. Junmai sake of this quality is one of the most food-versatile drinks in the world: the umami depth and gentle sweetness of the rice work with an extraordinary range of dishes. Serve it warm to bring out its richness and depth, or lightly chilled to emphasise its freshness and clarity. Pair it with sushi, grilled fish, aged cheese & charcuterie, or anything from the Japanese table.
