Tamagawa Omachi Yamahai 3U Muroka Nama Genshu
Kyoto // Japan
Kinoshita Shuzo was founded in the town of Kumihama, Kyoto prefecture in 1842. The present 11th generation Kuramoto (Brewery Owner) is Yoshito Kinoshita and together with Toji (Master Brewer) Philip Harper produces the exceptional Tamagawa sake range. Tamagawa can be translated as Jewel River and it is thought that the name refers to the Kawakamidani River which flows by the brewery.
Tamagawa's "3U" limited series (unfiltered, undiluted and unpasteurized) offers the opportunity to taste the unpolished raw material of freshly pressed, untreated sake.
Layered and powerful, this yamahai sake uses the cult-favourite heirloom Omachi rice and wild yeast to build depth and character. It is earthy, savoury and alive with acidity.
This limited-edition sake is one of the most popular in the Yamahai Junmai sake series brewed with Omachi rice. We recommend drinking it on the rocks, chilled to room temperature, or even warm (around 45 degrees celsius).
