Gasanryu “Betsuatsurae” Ususakura
Yamagata prefecture
Light and silky as a flower petal
“Betsuatsurae” means bespoke or special edition. “Ususakura” refers to the lightest color of cherry blossom petals. Put them together and you have an elegant spring nigori from Shindo Brewing Company. This limited-release sake is made with Dewasansan rice, the pride of Yamagata prefecture, noted for producing sake that is smooth and soft. Drink this light, clean-tasting brew chilled as you watch spring flowers bloom around you.

Shindo Brewing Company
Shindo has been brewing a local but famous brand “Fukutsuru” for the last 10 generations. This new brand “Gasanryu” was invented from an idea of going back to the original. They rebuilt the entire process to make truly authentic sake for sake lovers by taking harvest of rice to brewing all in-house. “Gasanryu” is limited in availability, most of them are only consumed locally.
