Joyo “Tokubetsu Junmai 60”
Kyoto prefecture
A bright take on a vintage
This unique, bright sake with a vintage pops with acidity and is to be enjoyed as it matures both in your glass and in the bottle. Still deeply rooted in traditional sake making, it uses 100% of Kyoto’s historical Iwai sake rice and their signature soft water. Restrained notes of stone fruit with chestnut and cream spread on your palate, sure to match any wild food pairing.

Joyo Brewing Company
Established in 1895 in Joyo, Kyoto prefecture, and known for their local plum forest, Joyo Brewing Company is the single remaining sake brewery in the Yamashiro area. They make small batches of sake by hand using soft water from their 330-foot deep well, and only use Iwai, Gohyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki sake rice grown locally, after careful consideration. Their motto is “bikan yuso,” which translates to a sense of beauty and playful imagination; they strive to provide beautiful sake to elevate people’s senses. Their sake is to be enjoyed not only with Japanese food but also with French, Italian and a wide range of cuisines.
