Toko Schneekönigin

This Junmai Daiginjo is brewed from the Yuki Megami (Snow Queen) rice variety from Yamagata Prefecture (GI Yamagata certified). The rice is carefully polished to 40% and then slowly fermented at low temperatures, resulting in elegant sweetness, a wonderfully fruit-forward aroma and an elegant, smooth texture. Delicate and refined, this profile gives life to a nose full of green apple and white peach.

The Producer

東光 Toko

The brewery was founded in 1597 in Yonezawa, Yamagata. Originally, it produced sake for the regional feudal lord Uesugi. Later, during the Edo period, the brewery received special permission to produce sake during the rice shortage.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
