Well-balanced with a beautiful aroma and natural sweetness from the rice. Crafted with a blend of sake rice and table rice, polished to 80% by design to preserve the rice’s natural character.Fermented slowly at low temperatures over an extended period, allowing umami to develop with depth and clarity. The result is a calm, layered expression of rice, with a refined texture and a long, elegant finish.
You can see some small bubbles in the sake, which indicates that a small amount of yeast is still alive in the bottle. Kinoene Umakara uses 'Binhiire' (瓶火入れ), a unique pasteurisation method.
Generally, sake is pasteurised twice-after processing and before shipping. However, Kinoene Umakara is pasteurised only once, after bottling, which results in a fresher taste and more aromatic profile.
