The name Jozan Sake is said to mean “eternal mountains”. The Tokoyama family is behind this brand of sake that has been brewing for over 215 years. In the early Edo Era (1621) the Tokoyama family relocated to Mikuni Minato, one of Japan’s most famous trading ports, on the west coast of Japan, or Fukui Prefecture. And for eight generations, the Tokoyama family have brewed sake that keeps the spirit of each generation alive.
This Cho Kara Junmai Daiginjo is striking; it appears mostly clear, but has a slight green tint. Aromas of apple, white peach, flowers, and the fresh verdure that originates from cerulenin-resistant sake yeast combine in this pleasant and dry sake.
