Shirataki Shuzō was founded in 1855 by Minatoya Tōsuke (湊屋藤助). The brewery served travellers and peddlers in Yuzawa, a strategic hub on Mikuni Kaidō (三国街道) linking Echigo and Edo on the Nakasendō. Echigo-Yuzawa, the setting of Kawabata Yasunari's 'Snow Country', is located in the Uonuma region of Niigata Prefecture, an area with one of the world's heaviest snowfalls. Plenty of snow melts in spring and seeps into the ground, becoming limpid groundwater over fifty years. The water drawn from three wells on the brewery's property is soft water suitable for brewing and used to make the company's sake.

Shirataki's Junmai Daiginjo offers a moderate, sweet, fruity aroma with subtle lactic undertones. The palate is mild and smooth, with a balanced sweetness and acidity. The sake is medium-dry and light-bodied, finishing with a crisp and clean note. A unique touch of spiciness sets it apart from traditional styles. While quite enjoyable at room temperature, this sake shines when warmed. Heating mellows the flavours, enhancing their smoothness while preserving their distinctive spiciness.
