This one is bottled directly during pressing (jikagumi), making it Yukawa's freshest possible expression of the season's new rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label carries the name Kurouemon, honouring 16th-generation owner Naoko Yukawa, who took over her family's brewery — founded in 1650, 1,000 metres up in the mountains of Kiso, Nagano, in a spot said to be the closest place to the stars in Japan. Under her, '16th Kurouemon' became Yukawa's flagship line: refined, kimoto-adjacent acidity and juicy umami, with a different rice and treatment in nearly every bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoneyed apple, rounded ginjo florals and a bright, clean acidity that keeps the sweetness from ever feeling heavy. Released each year in late November as the true start of new-sake season — an easy, juicy entry point even for sake beginners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yukawa Sake Brewery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43252193984610,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Yukawa-Hitogokochi.png?v=1788394272","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/yukawa-16th-kurouemon-junmai-ginjo-hitogokochi-nama","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
