ABOUT 

Made from local rice, yeast and even a local strain of koji, this really speaks to what makes the Nanbu Toji guild special. The Giovanni No Shirabe yeast was created by the guild to represent their fruity, fresh and balanced style. Enjoy the delightful aroma and soft palate transitioning into sweet orange peel. In a world where many Daiginjo all taste of the same competition yeast and the same Hyogo rice, this is the antidote. It is refreshing at an unbeatable value.


SERVING

Great chilled with sashimi and crudo but also with soft cheeses - like adding a fruit plate!


BREWERY

Established in 1917 with 175 shareholders from seven

villages in the Hanaizumi region, Iwanoi was founded as a publicly-owned local company with the aim of preventing illegal production of doburoku (unrefined sake) and providing winter employment opportunities for local farmers. Today, it continues to thrive with 181 shareholders, mainly from Hanaizumi Town. Unlike many sake breweries, it operates as a community owned enterprise rather than a family-run business. Iwate Prefecture is renowned as the birthplace of the Nanbu Toji, the largest association of master brewers in Japan, which remains highly active to this day.
