Suigei “MANN”
Kochi prefecture
Serving up style
The Yamadanishiki rice for this sake is cultivated in the Special A District in East Tojo then polished way down to a stupendous 30%! When brewed at low temperature and with kumamoto yeast, the sake takes on a distinctly ginjo scent, but retains the extravagant and round flavor you love about junmai daiginjo. This brew is a fantastic representation of Suigei’s distinct style, and it stands out amongst the crowd because of this uniqueness

Founded in 1872, Suigei is named after the feudal lord who once ruled the area, nicknamed “the drunken lord of the sea with whales.” In their hometown of Tosa, a party over delicious food and sake is an important place of communication.
