Mimurosugi Kioke Bodaimoto Nishi (720ml) みむろ杉 木桶 木桶菩提もと

Vibrant aromas of green apple and fresh cut wood notes from the Kioke Cedar Barrel in which the fermentation has taken place. On the palate a flavour that is not too assertive, rather gentle and soothing. A lightness that is quite unexpected from a Bodaimoto while the moderate umami flavour derived from this method develops in layers of complexity.

日本清酒発祥の地・奈良県に古来より伝わる伝統の醸造技法「菩提酛」や、奈良県三輪山特産の吉野杉から作られた木桶を使用するといった、古典的技法に回帰した造りとなっています。青リンゴの生き生きとしたアロマと、木桶からのフレッシュな木の香り。味わいは主張しすぎず、むしろ穏やかで落ち着きがあります。菩提酛ととは思えない軽やかさがあり、この製法から生まれる適度なうま味が幾重にも重なり、複雑な味わいを生み出しています。

Imanishi Shuzo 今西酒造

A unique historical style of Sake which is carried on by Imanishi brewery is the Bodaimoto brewing method, once written about in detail in Japan’s first record of sake brewing, the Mishu No Nikki and native to the Nara region. This brew is made through a traditional method of lactic acid propagation and only with locally cultivated Hitomebore rice, fermented in traditional style barrels made with Yoshino Cedar from Mount Miwa. The Bodaimoto is a dedication to nature, within each bottle exists the commitment to nature and the abundance which it provides with little human technological intervention.
