Kubota Manjyu Junmai Daiginjo stands out with its delicate floral aroma, harmoniously balanced by a silky and clear texture. On the palate, it reveals subtle notes of dried strawberry and nuts, delivering a complex tasting experience where umami, sweetness, and acidity intertwine beautifully. This sake embodies the essence of tanrei-karakuchi, characterized by its dryness and refreshing quality.

This Junmai Daiginjo is crafted using Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Niigata, polished to 50% for the koji, and local Niigata rice polished to 33% for the moromi. With an alcohol content of 15%, it offers a balanced and harmonious profile. It is best enjoyed between 10°C and 15°C to fully appreciate its delicate aromas. This sake pairs particularly well with Italian dishes such as eggplant and ricotta cheese rigatoni, lasagna Bolognese, or pasta in sauce.

The Asahi-Shuzo Brewery, located in Nagaoka in Niigata Prefecture, is renowned for its commitment to excellence and innovation in producing high-quality sakes. Combining centuries-old tradition with modern techniques, the brewery highlights local ingredients and a meticulous production process, delivering a sake that embodies the very best of Japanese craftsmanship

Brewery Asahi Shuzo - Kubota

Founded in the city of Nagaoka, in the heart of Niigata prefecture, a major rice and sake production center in Japan, the Asashi-Shuzo brewery is first and foremost known in Europe and around the world through its range of sakes: Kubota.


Since 1830, the house has been using all its expertise, from rice cultivation to sake brewing, to produce the best alcohol possible for nearly 200 years. If the main ingredient of sake obviously remains rice, it is first of all the pure and fresh water drawn near the brewery which contributes to the balance of alcohols produced by Kubota.


The rice, mostly of the Gohyakumangoku type, is grown by Asahi-Shuzo in partnership with local farmers in the Niigata region. It is then polished to different levels depending on the type of sake but overall at 50% for the Kubota sakes that we offer on Uisuki.


Note that the Asahi-Shuzo brewery has two "echigo toki" (master brewers), Motoyoshu Yamaga and Ryosaku Ohashi, which ensures perfect mastery and transmission of the house's know-how.


Finally, for those who are wondering: there are actually two breweries by the name of Asahi Shuzo. However, these are two different companies: one based in Iwakuni in Yamaguchi prefecture and represented by Dassai sakes and the other, presented here and therefore based in Nagaoka where Kubota sakes are brewed.
