The "origin of sake brewing" of this sake is based on traditional wooden barrels and the ancient "nama-to-zoku" technique. A lot of time and effort has been invested to reinterpret the sake style of the old times. Therefore, rice that has not been over-polished is selected, and "Kyokai No. 12 Yeast" from the 1950s is used. This is a high-quality yeast separated from Urakazu's ginjo mash and registered by the Japan Brewing Association. The "12" on the wine label also highlights its characteristics. This wine uses the raw fermentation process to naturally ferment lactic acid, creating an environment suitable for yeast growth and avoiding artificial additives in modern processes. Although it is time-consuming and laborious, the rich and layered taste is quite charming. The wine has a mild and rich honey aroma, harmonious sourness and flavor, and a refreshing aftertaste. After heating, its rich flavor can be more prominent.
【Urakasumi】
Urakasumi is a famous Tohoku sake that was founded in 1724 during the reign of the eighth shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune. At that time, Urakasumi was ordered by the Date family to brew a sacred sake for the local historic Shiogama Shrine. It is now a long-established shop and the birthplace of the Association's No. 12 yeast. The current head of the family, the 13th generation President Hirokazu Sura, can be said to be a major contributor to the internationalization of Japanese sake. He currently serves as the vice president of the Japan Sake Brewers Association and has served the entire Japanese sake industry for many years. When President Sawara was the chairman of the Japan Sake Brewing Youth Council (a national organization of young breweries under the age of 45), he initiated the "Sake Samurai" system to promote sake ambassadors. He also promoted sake to the IWC (International Wine Challenge), which led to the establishment of the SAKE competition department at the IWC in 2007. IWC is the world's largest wine tasting event, held in London every April. Since joining the SAKE project in 2007, the international visibility of Japanese sake has increased significantly.
In addition, in order to evaluate sake neutrally and objectively, judges and experts will frequently visit sake breweries to learn about sake and local culture. This has also contributed to the growing popularity of sake tourism in Japan, and many overseas sake lovers consider visiting sake breweries a must-do every year. Without the promotion of President Sura, the charm of Japanese sake might not have spread internationally so quickly.
