Watanabe (Tochigi)

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.

Kyokuko Rosso Kimoto - 720ml

Kyokuko Rosso Kimoto is one of the most extreme and unique sake produced in Japan. Rosé or red in this case makes it special. Kimoto starter is a very ancient way to make a yeast starter which gives normal a higher acidity to the sake. Polishing ratio of 99% so the rice has been milled down only 1% is extraordinary since almost all rice for sake producing will be polished at least 10%. Adding oak maturating for a year which is seldom used for sake adds to another unique aspect of this sake. If you are not into sake please do not try this but if you are and like rough, Umami, oak and unique Flavors this might be your pick. We tried this at tastings and people either loved or hated it but everyone agreed on one thing, this is more than extreme extraordinary. Best served cold or room temperature in a wine glass. Dishes full of Umami like cheese are great in combination with this sake.

The name Dan means “beginning”, reflecting a new chapter for the brewery. Here, sake is always imagined alongside food, making every bottle versatile and balanced rather than overly intense. Fruity notes are subtle, while freshness and depth make this sake a perfect companion at the table. Sasaichi Shuzo, the brewery behind Dan, is located in Otsuki, in the heart of Yamanashi prefecture. Founded in 1661 as Hanadaya and renamed in 1919, it modernised rapidly during the 20th century. In 2013, the new generation of brewers decided to return to craftsmanship: limiting automation, focusing on hand-prepared koji, and using only the best ingredients. The water comes from their own underground spring, Gozensui, flowing from Mount Fuji. For rice, they select premium local varieties such as Yamadanishiki, Omachi and Yumesansui – all adding to the character of their sake.
