Tamagawa “Kinsho” Heart of Gold
Kyoto prefecture
Complex, wondrous and elegant
If you’re looking for an elegant expression of the rockstar Tamagawa lineup, this would be it. With a hint of mandarin peel, apricot and rice powder on the nose, and white flowers, caramel and candied orange on the palate, medium-dark maple syrup lingers. But this is just one experience of this sake, and we’re sure you will have your own complex, amazing experience of your own.

Kinoshita Brewing Company
Kinoshita Brewing Company is located way on the north side of Kyoto facing the Sea of Japan. Their brand Tamagawa comes from the very clean stream they are near, with which Japanese people have had a sacred relationship. Kinoshita Brewing Company is famous for having the first foreign national certified brewmaster, Philip Harper from England, who has been referred to as “the wizard of brewing.” His sake has character and depth. It breaks barriers and stretches the boundaries of sake while being authentic and fun. We’ve come to expect wild, funky and delicious discoveries when we taste their sake.
