Mimurosugi Kioke Bodaimoto Tsuyuhakaze (720ml) みむろ杉 木桶菩提酛 露葉風

A brand new release to the Kioke Bodaimoto line-up, Tsuyahakaze rice, native to Nara offers notes of cotton candy & mild sweetness of freshly steamed rice.

Barrel fermented in purpose- built wooden vats, made from Yoshino cedar, widely regarded as the best in all of Japan.  

Brimming with energy with tension, yet rounded off with the soft tannins of Yoshino  cedar, this is an exquisitely elegant sake, stitching together tradition, terroir & aspirations of Imanishi Shuzo.

The aroma of gentle, ripe melon is accompanied by the soft sweetness of the cotton candy-like texture unique to Tsuyuha-style rice. The sake's finish is astringent with a strong but pleasant acidity

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.
