Izumibashi “Dragonfly” Nigori Sparking Set
Kanagawa prefecture
Soft as a cloud
The lees in this sparkling nigori sake come from rice grown by the brewery via environmentally friendly farming methods. The fine rice sediment creates a mousse-like, melt-in-your-mouth texture and gives the sake a yogurt-like taste. It’s slightly sweet and tangy with delightful notes of peach and pineapple. The gentle bubbles, a result of secondary in-bottle fermentation, land softly on your palate for a clean finish.

Izumibashi Brewing Company
Sake making at Izumibashi Brewing Company is all about commitment to natural and traditional processes. The current president, Yuichi Hashiba, is responsible for creating their dragonfly logo, expressing their philosophy to use safe, environmentally friendly rice growing methods to make sure the dragonfly can come back to the fields every year. Rarely you will find a sake brewery that is committed to growing all of their sake rice, polishing their rice in-house, and brewing it in the most labor-intensive, traditional ways, such as using the smallest batch called “koji buta,” and incorporating kimoto methods.
