Yamagata Prefecture, Japan
The Shuho Shuzojo Brewery is located in the heart of Yamagata Prefecture, north of Honshu, a mountainous region with cold and very snowy in winters, ideal conditions for sake production. The area is also known as "Ginjo Okoku", the Ginjo Empire, because the variety of Ginjo sakes produced here is far superior to anything else in Japan.
In Yamagata, each brewery has its own style, an incredible diversity which has a double origin - on the one hand, the geography of the place: each mountainside or hillside on which the breweries are installed has its own microclimate and its own spring water - on the other hand, the human factor: the Tojis of Yamagata are very independent because they have no direct link with the classical guilds of neighboring Prefectures. As for the Kurabitos, the vast majority of them are natives of Yamagata. Enough to forge a strong identity for the sake of the region!
Shuho Shuzojo was founded in Meiji 23 (1890), at the foot of the famous Zaô mountain range, in the North East of the Prefecture. This family brewery produces almost exclusively Ginjo class sake, with an average of 46% semibuaï in all its vintages, an exceptionally high figure. The brewery is very much focused on respecting traditional techniques and product quality, and is the rising star of the Prefecture thanks to the talents of the new generation..

<p style="text-align: justify;">Shuho is clearly different from the other sake of the Daïginjo category: beyond the beautiful fruity sensations of green melon and muscatel grapes, the floral notes, Shuho is a very mineral and incredibly precise sake. A very dry sake with a Nihonshudo of +10!<br /><br /><strong>A Junmaï Daïginjo dry, mineral, tense!</strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">秀鳳 純米大吟醸超辛口 秀鳳酒造場（山形県)</span><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">72cl - Alc. 17% Vol.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A sake with a pleasant nose, fruity, flowery. An elegant Dainginjo, but anyway with power (17°, as it is also a Genshu, without water added at the end of fermentation). The finish is bright and lively, a great bargain for Junamaï Daïginjo ! <br /><br /><strong>A great deal for this Daïginjo of super quality. </strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">秀鳳 純米大吟醸原酒 秀鳳酒造場（山形県)</span><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">72cl - Alc. 17% Vol. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A sake with a fruity nose, pear, melon. Clear in mouth with lactic sensations comparable to those found on namacho. A traditional Junmaï Ginjo, of a very good level. Sweet, but not too much, a good fruity finishing on clear and precise sensations. <br /><br /><strong>A fruity ginjo, clear and clean. A classic and very qualitative sake!</strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">秀鳳 純米吟醸 八反 秀鳳酒造場（山形県）</span><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">72cl - Alc. 16% Vol. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A fruity nose, with apple and melon notes. Beautifully structured on the palate, with lots of umami, nice sweetness and power of fruits. A net sake that leaves a clean palate. The finish is clear, punctuated by spices and a slight bitterness. A very nice balance between sweetness and acidity. <br /><br /><strong>Shuho Soden Legend, a concentrate of know-how.</strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">秀鳳 大吟醸総伝 秀鳳酒造場（山形県）</span><br /><span style="color: #9b9b9b;">72cl - Alc. 17% Vol.</span></p>
