The pride of Miyagi prefecture

As an integral and respected fixture in its community since its founding in 1724, it’s fitting that Saura would adorn their finest Urakasumi sake with the letter “M,” emblematic of what Miyagi prefecture means to them, and vice versa. This aged, award-winning junmai daiginjo is a limited brew brimming with sophistication. Made with Miyagi’s prefectural yeast, it possesses a delicate, floral aroma, silky sweetness and subtle richness.

Saura

Founded in 1724, Saura has dedicated its sacred sake to the divinities of Shiogama Shrine, religious center of the Tohoku region. Brewmasters Sagoro Hirano and Juichi Hirano, who left behind their legendary Hirano method, are followed by current brewmasters Kunio Onodera, Toru Yamada and Isao Akama, who are winning many gold awards in competitions. Also famous as the birthplace of Association No. 12 yeast, they’ve asked us to please “enjoy a peaceful and pleasant time while drinking Urakasumi, as the name comes from an ancient poem that depicts the beauty of the arrival of spring in the Shiogama Bay, where the sake brewery is located.”
