Located in the northeastern part of Honshu, Miyagi Prefecture,
Niizawa brewery produces sake in a rich natural environment.
“Kuranohana”, sake rice nurtured
by rich soil and water.
The EiKYU uses is "Kuranohana" rice (translates to "flower of the brewery") locally grown from Miyagi Prefecture. Compared to other sake rice varieties, Kuranohana has larger and harder grains that are less prone to cracking, allowing for extreme polishing. Its low amino acid content and low protein content produce a clean, crisp flavor without impurities.

The soft water quality allows for gentle fermentation of the mash, resulting in a delicate and soft flavor.
