Sake Gassan Junmai Ginjo Mountain Moon is premium sake that ranks high with the Beverage Tasting Institute. This fine sake is crafted by the Yoshia Brewing Company, which is a renowed and award-winning brewery that crafts elegant sakes. This brewery is located in the village of Yasugi and was founded in 1743.

The quality of rice, water, and skill are the perfect marriage to bring together an award-winning harmony of flavors. The technique of the brewing master is so cherished that the Japanese government has asked the brewery’s master to share his skills with the next generation.
