Kiminoi Brewery Emperors Well Yamahai Junmai Sake | 720ML

A delicate balance of robust and delicate, full notes of cereal grains and cremini mushrooms in a light and airy structure. One of the better matches for tempura we’ve had. Warming this sake adds a touch of fruity sweetness to the toasty notes, making us think of banana bread, fresh from the oven.

Distillery Information

Kiminoi Shuzou is located along the road formerly known as Hokkoku-Kaido Araishuku. Hokkoku-Kaido was a passage for Alternating Edo Residence of the Japanese feudal lords of the Hokuriku area. In addition, it was an important transportation passage for transporting large amount of gold produced in Sado to Edo, rice from the granary, salt and seafood from Imamachi Port (Joetsu City), and other supplies. Arai is renowned for its heavy snowfall reaching more than 10 meters, so life old Arai's during winters appears to have been tough. However, thanks to the "land of heavy snowfall," Arai area becomes a natural refrigerator in winter, and is blessed with abundant groundwater, such as river-bed water from the Yashiro River from Mt. Myoko. These condition makes Arai an ideal environment for sake brewing. Kiminoi Shuzou has been growing with the blessing of the snow.
