Michinoku Onikoroshi is a bold expression that reflects the rugged spirit and straightforward character of northern Japan. Its name comes from a legendary phrase meaning “dry enough to kill demons,” signaling an uncompromisingly crisp and decisive style.

Designed to be enjoyed across a wide range of serving temperatures, it showcases a versatile personality that adapts effortlessly to different dining moments, making it a dependable choice for everyday meals as well as hearty gatherings.
The flavor profile is strikingly dry yet clean, opening with a brisk, refreshing attack that sharpens the palate when served chilled.
