About the brewery : Kaetsu Shuzo brewery was originally founded in 1880 in Hukushima Prefecture, then was transferred to Niigata in 1886. Niigata Prefecture faces the Japan Sea, the climate is continental with very hot summers, and cold and snowy winters. The brewery is located in the Aga-machi town where the Agano River and Tokonami meet. It is also surrounded by mountains. This area gave birth to one of the noblest "Sakamaï" rice (rice dedicated to the production of sake). The water quality is excellent with natural sources nearby that give a pure and fresh water. An excellent sake region.

Detailed tasting notes : This top-quality sake reveals remarkable aromatic power as soon as it is inhaled, followed by nuances of banana and melon on the palate, enhanced by a subtle hint of acidity.

Serving suggestions : Enjoy Kanbara well chilled, and it goes perfectly with white meat dishes such as veal or chicken. It is also an excellent match for a piece of hard cheese, such as aged Comté.
