Sommelier's comment
A craftsman's old sake that is carefully brewed for aged sake and then aged at room temperature after being stored at a low temperature. It has a sweet, gorgeous aroma of honey and almonds, and a mellow sweetness. Just the right amount of acidity and spicy flavor bring the whole thing together.
Brewed by: Inami Sake Brewery
Founded in 1889, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture
Hyogo Prefecture is the hometown of Yamada Nishiki, the king of sake rice. The mineral-rich clay soil and climate with large temperature differences made it ideal for cultivating sake rice. There are sake breweries where sake rice is produced. As a sake brewery located in a major Yamada Nishiki production area, Inami aims to produce terroir sake that is brewed in the local climate.
