Nestled quietly in Aizu-Wakamatsu, a city steeped in samurai history, Suehiro Sake Brewery has stood as a symbol of tradition and innovation since its founding in 1850 ?amidst the turmoil of the Boshin War. Encouraged by the Aizu domain as part of a strategy to raise war funds, the brewery took its first steps during this pivotal moment in Japanese history.Over the years, Suehiro has played a pioneering role in the evolution of sake brewing, particularly noted for its key contributions to the development of the Yamahai method?a technique that left a lasting impact on the entire industry. Under the leadership of its seventh-generation head, Suehiro also helped usher in the modern ginjo sake movement, expanding the boundaries of what sake could be.Today, as the brewery enters a new chapter, the eighth-generation head continues this legacy of innovation, honoring the past while boldly charting a path toward the future.

KIRA GINJO SAKE
The aroma starts off with cucumber and basil, followed by melon and citrus notes, such as lime and kumquat. The flavor is clean and crisp, with a nuance of green notes, such as shiso leaves, then followed by kiwi, ending with a hint of white pepper and flint. The finish is sharp, dry, yet beautifully crisp.

SUEHIRO YAMAHAI Junmai Ginjo SAKE
The experience is very cool and refreshing; a subtle aroma of white lilac flower wafts to the nose as the sake reaches the palate. The taste is elegant, a harmony of the soft umami of rice paired with just the right amount of acidity. It can be enjoyed both warm and cold.
