This starts as a kimoto, fermented in wood, but swaps water for the iconic Daigo no Shizuku sake in the final stage of brewing. After two years of rest, this natural brew emerges viscous, refined yet vibrant, shining warm or chilled.

For the final brewing, they have used Gonin Musume Junmai Sake, brewed in 2019, and then brewed it again in the winter of 2020. The resulting wooden barrel kijoshu "Sasa" has been slowly aged in the brewery, making it even more mellow. Incredibly complex, rich and savoury with pleasing acidity. Aromas of dried sultanas and cedar.
About the Producer

As such, he believes in making sakes that hark back to centuries past. The brewery employs Kimoto and ancient Bodaimoto methods, using natural yeasts that inhabit the air.
