The product of patience

The name “Bodaimoto” comes from the process originally used by monks at Shoryakuji Temple. Using this ancient process is a privilege, and they’ve superbly balanced the acidity, umami, and layered texture in the resulting sake using Omachi rice. This nigori’s rich, sweet flavor is abound in fresh apple and a dappling of bitterness all delivered with a silken texture that can turn anyone into a nigori lover.

Tsuji Honten

Located in Northern Okayama, Tsuji Honten is situated in a chilly climate near crystalline waters and bountiful rice fields — the perfect spot for brewing up delicious sake. The brewers take pride in the tradition and culture of the land they come from, so they brew a majority of their sake using Omachi rice — the oldest sake rice strain — and all their rice comes directly from Okayama prefecture. They aren’t afraid of the new; in fact, they strive to match classic with modern and give us the best of both with each bottle they produce.
