Product information "Miwatari Karakuchi Junmai - 300ml"
Miwatari Karakuchi Junmai is a beautiful dry sake with a powerful full taste where a lot of Umami predominates. Roasted grains, banana, steamed rice and dairy in the smell. The somewhat fat aftertaste lingers nicely.
It is a typical locally brewed sake, made with 100% Hitogokochi from Nagano Prefecture. Surprising possibilities to serve with different dishes through variation of serving temperature.
Toshimaya Brewery in Nagano has been producing
artisanal sake since 1891 on the shores of the mystical Suwa Lake. With
an annual production of just 1700 koku, it is a true craft brewery led
by Toji Komatsu Yukio and guided by the vision of the young president.
The brewery uses water sourced from Mount Hachi Buse, carefully
balancing minerals such as magnesium and potassium to suit the yeast
starter. The rice is cultivated locally by contracted farmers, creating a
strong bond between the growers and the brewer, a connection proudly
celebrated in the tasting room where the farmers’ portraits are
displayed. Alongside classic rice types like Miyama Nishiki, Yamada
Nishiki and Kinmon Nishiki, local varieties including Takane Nishiki,
Shirakaba Nishiki and Hitogokochi are also used. The brewery is further
distinguished by a private collection of Samurai armour housed in a
hidden museum and has earned repeated gold medals at the International
Wine Challenge.
