About the brewery : Asahi Shuzo was founded in 1830 in an ideal location for sake production, Niigata, the region with the second largest number of breweries in Japan. The natural environment is rich and varied, an area surrounded by the Sea of Japan to the west and the mountains to the east. The Shinano River flows through the city, which is famous for its fireworks festival. The Asahi brewery has a production unit in the Koshiji region on the south-western side of the river. The Kubota series is certainly one of the most famous in Japan. It is made from Gohyakumangoko rice grown by the brewery itself through its agricultural company to make the most of the region's climate.
Tasting advice : Kubota Senju is ideal to accompany food without interfering too much with dishes. His nose is discreet, and has a silky mouth ; it is easy to drink and very pleasant. This is not a Junmai because it received distilled alcohol after fermentation, which gives it a right and neat character.
