About

Made from Goriki rice grown with meticulous cultivation, this sake is slowly brewed over a long period using kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method), which draws on the yeast and lactic acid bacteria resident in the brewery. It is difficult to capture in a single word, but the sake offers a deep, complex umami that harmonizes beautifully with the firm acidity typical of kimoto brewing. Because more microorganisms take part in fermentation than in standard methods, the flavor develops with greater complexity, a three-dimensional depth, and many facets.
