Kyokuko Kimoto 88 Junmai - 720ml
Kyokuko Junmai 88 Kimoto is brewed with Tochigi Sake 14, a rice variety developed by the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station and designed specifically for sake brewing. Lightly polished and prepared in the kimoto style, it displays a deep umami character balanced by refreshing acidity. This sake is particularly well suited to being served warm but also is a fantastic and unique sake to be consumed cold.
Watanabe Shuzo is a small family owned brewery in the Nasu region of northern Tochigi Prefecture. Founded in 1892 by Eisaku Watanabe, whose family had long brewed sake in Niigata Prefecture, the brewery began in a rented storehouse on a farm. In 1912, it moved to its current site in the Susagi area of Otawara City. As the relocation took the brewery further east, the brand name was changed to Kyokuko, meaning “rising sun.”
We are proud we received their original flag after our latest visit to the brewery which we proudly present in our Japanese liqour store Ma Sake.
