Description
Founded in 1805 in Shiga Prefecture, Kitajima Brewery produces sakes that are balanced, elegant as well as structured and engaging. These terroir-based sakes offer a unique aromatic depth and reflect the natural conditions. Kitajima incorporates production techniques developed over the brewery’s long history into its sakes to create authentic and characterful beverages.
Made from Wataribune rice, a local variety from the Shiga region, this cuvée combines strength and delicacy, sophistication and rusticity. When tasted, it reveals different facets, from cereal notes such as wheat and rice to fermentative notes such as mushrooms and sourdough. The elegant acidity, which is typical of the Kimoto method, ensures a lingering, beautiful finish.
