ABOUT
The super geeky Aiyama rice grown in Hyogo is only polished 90% lending both umami to the sake then the rose flower yeast gives this a gorgeous hue but also refreshing acidity and a hint of sweetness.

BREWERY
The Afuri series from Kikkawa Jozo is brewed with water from a rain-fed spring at the foot of Mount Afuri in Kanagawa. It is naturally harder than typical sake brewing water at 150ppm in equal parts Calcium and Magnesium. These nutrients allow for extremely low temperature fermentation to develop extra complexity. Founded in 1912, Kikkawa once made rich and dry sake. The 7th generation chief brewer Masanori Mizuno took over in 2012 changing focus to a complex, robust and aromatic style balanced by ancient acid production techniques.
