This sake is brewed from 100% Takane Nishiki rice grown in Aga Town, Niigata Prefecture. Although Takane Nishiki is originally from Nagano, it was once considered the main rice variety for making ginjo sake in Niigata. Takane Nishiki has been considered an almost extinct rice variety for some time, although it is a high-quality sake rice characterized by its refreshing and full taste. Today, Takane Nishiki is mainly grown in Niigata. Ginjo aroma and candy-like aroma characterize this sake. The four-stage brewing created a sweet taste, simmilar to that of persimmon or melon with an elegance reminding brandy and sherry wine.

In 2021, Yosuke Tanaka founded this small brewery in the lagoon in the northern part of Niigata. Under the motto "exciting and diverse", this micro brewery produces small batches of different sake. Each batch is unique (only about 500 bottles) for which different types of rice and production methods are tried out. Only products that grow no further than 20 kilometers from the brewery are used. Yosuke Tanaka names his sake SHO-KU and hopes the sake produced in the lagoon will fly into the sky like the migratory birds that congregate in the region and bring smiles to the faces of people around the world. It is exciting to follow the development of the taste of the different batches of this brewery.
UENO GOURMET is the first dealer in Europe importin Yosuke Tanaka's handprint sake and will be presenting further batches in future.
