Jikon Junmai Daiginjo "Tokuto Omachi" is a distinguished sake crafted by Kiyasho Shuzo, a brewery established in 1818 in Nabari City, Mie Prefecture, Japan. This sake is renowned for its meticulous production process and the use of premium ingredients, resulting in a complex and refined flavor profile.

Key Features:

  • Rice Variety: The sake is made from 100% Tokuto Omachi rice, the highest grade of Omachi rice, which is one of Japan's oldest heirloom sake rice varieties. Omachi rice is known for its delicate nature and low yields, making it particularly challenging to cultivate and brew.

  • Polishing Ratio: The rice is polished to 40%, removing 60% of the outer layers to achieve a purer starch core, which contributes to the sake's elegance and depth.

  • Yeast and Water: Kiyasho Shuzo utilizes in-house cultivated yeast and medium-soft well water sourced from the Nabari River, both of which play crucial roles in developing the sake's unique characteristics.

Flavor Profile: Jikon Junmai Daiginjo "Tokuto Omachi" offers a harmonious balance of depth and herbal tones, attributes imparted by the Omachi rice. The sake presents a complex, restrained, and beautiful flavor, often described as reminiscent of a shady grove enshrining a glimmering stream
