Under the direction of Toshiharu Odaira, the fifth generation at the helm of the brewery, Midorikawa perpetuates a tradition of excellence, favoring absolute purity and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Origins and terroir
Uonuma is an exceptional terroir for rice cultivation. Nourished by crystal-clear water from local snowmelt, the rigorously selected rice varieties give these sakes a unique personality.
Production method
Through low-temperature fermentation and carefully controlled aging, Midorikawa sakes reveal aromas of great complexity, combining finesse and depth. This meticulous craftsmanship reflects the brewery's absolute respect for its natural environment and its unwavering commitment to artisanal excellence.
