Kikunotsukasa Innocent 50 Muroka Nama Genshu (720ml)《WC Selection -ZJ130》

Kikuno-ji Sake Brewery aims to brew sakewith a crisp, clear flavor by taking advantage of the severe cold of Morioka,the coldest city in Honshu, and its soft spring water. The Nakatsu River, whichruns directly behind the Kiku-no-Masa Brewery, is a calm, clear stream with ashimmering riverbed throughout the year. In summer, ayu (sweetfish) fishing ispopular, in autumn salmon come up to spawn, and in winter swans fly in. 

At ourbrewery, water from the subsoil of the Nakatsu River is pumped from a well andused as brewing water. The water, polished by the earth of Iwate, containsmoderate mineral content and is soft. This brewing water is the lifeblood ofour brewery, bringing out the flavor of the rice and carefully fermenting it atlow temperatures. 

The brewery uses locally grown rice for more than 90% of therice used for sake brewing, with "Yunokou," "Ginotome," and"Ginginga" as the main rice varieties suitable for sake brewing. Thesoft-water brewing process easily brings out the flavor of the rice, and slow,low-temperature fermentation for three weeks or longer produces sake with abright aroma and a strong, crisp flavor. It has a gorgeous yet core flavor,with a good balance of sourness, bitterness, and astringency in addition tosweetness.
