We have special closeout pricing today on Tsuchida Kimoto Junmai, a deeply characterful sake from Gunma Prefecture, made by a brewery that has built its identity around traditional, natural brewing. Tsuchida uses the classic original kimoto method for all of its sake, relying on naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria to start fermentation rather than adding manufactured lactic acid, which gives the Sake more acidity, umami, depth, richness, and character. This Junmai is made from local Gunma rice called Asahi no Yume, polished to 60%, with no added brewer’s alcohol, and shows the house’s signature balance of rice richness, savory complexity, and clean lift. It is fuller and more textured than a simple, easy-drinking sake, with notes of cream, almond, dried fruit, gentle sweetness, and a refreshing, food-friendly finish. This is a great bottle for wine drinkers who want sake with personality. Traditional in method, complex in flavor, and versatile enough to serve chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed with richer seafood, mushrooms, pork, roasted chicken, or savory Japanese dishes. We have a limited amount in stock today at this very low pricing, so grab some before they are gone!
