Rumiko no Sake Kimoto 2020
This sake is named after Rumiko Moriki, who is the Toji [Master Brewer] and Kuramoto [Brewery Owner] along with her husband Hideki Moriki. A pure rice sake made without charcoal filtration, pasteurisation or dilution. The manga graphic on the label of this sake is a very famous drawing of Rumiko when she first started brewing sake, as she was one of the very first female Toji at the time, in the mid-90's. Rumiko no Sake ‘Kimoto’ is made with Yamada Nishiki and Hattan Nishiki rice types. Brewed using the traditional kimoto starter method, this sake shows wonderful complexity and a balanced savoury palate.
