About

Made with naturally grown rice, this sake is brewed without added yeast or other additives, using the kimoto method (traditional yeast-starter method) in wooden tubs (kioke) in Kawaba, Gunma. It is certified under the GI (Geographical Indication) Tone-Numata designation. The rice is polished to a 90% rice polishing ratio, the type of rice eaten as food rather than sake rice. The brew relies on kura-tsuki yeast, the wild yeast that inhabits the brewery itself, rather than a added yeast. It is a suitable gift for people who care about the environment. The recipient receives a carefully selected sake, and the giver is recognized for their choice.
