With an SMV of +12, this super-dry junmai masterfully balances deep rice umami with a bold, sharp finish. Notes of apple, pear and flower invite you in, ultimately ending in a striking, palate-cleansing conclusion. Specifically designed to drink with meals, the dryness cuts through oily dishes and allows the ingredients to shine. It delivers clarity and character with every sip, whether served chilled, at room temperature or warm.

The story

Tracing its roots to 1719 in Hirosaki, Aomori prefecture, Rokka Brewing Company expresses the Tsugaru region’s “joppari” spirit. Its modern Torai brand pairs local rice, Mount Iwaki spring water and Shirakami lactic acid bacteria for a true Aomori terroir.
