A tale of two koji

“Shirokoji” refers to white koji, which is used in shochu production. By using white koji in tandem with the yellow koji typical of sake making, Izumibashi Brewing Company elevates the citric acid content of this sake, conjuring a pleasant tartness reminiscent of lemon and green apple. Combined with the umami from the yellow koji, this complex junmai ginjo offers a flavor profile that white wine lovers will find familiar and exciting.

Crackers are excellent to balance the lightness and simplicity of junmai ginjo sake. For sake ware, we recommend glasses or cups that enhance the sake’s fruity aroma.

Izumibashi Brewing Company

Sake making at Izumibashi Brewing Company is all about commitment to natural and traditional processes. The current president, Yuichi Hashiba, is responsible for creating their dragonfly logo, expressing their philosophy to use safe, environmentally friendly rice growing methods to make sure the dragonfly can come back to the fields every year. Rarely you will find a sake brewery that is committed to growing all of their sake rice, polishing their rice in-house, and brewing it in the most labor-intensive, traditional ways, such as using the smallest batch called “koji buta,” and incorporating kimoto methods.
