Science experiment gone right

Tokushima prefecture, where Narutotai sake is produced, is a leader in LED light innovation. The brewers wondered what would happen if they continuously exposed sake yeast to various types of LED light. The resulting yeast mutation gives this junmai ginjo a delightfully complex profile, featuring an aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit and candied nuts, a juicy body with notes of apple and yogurt, and a clean, dry finish.

Honke Matsuura

Founded back in 1804, Honke Matsuura traces the roots of its founder back to a pirate group, the Matsuura Party. Fortunately for us the founder turned to sake making, inspired by the luscious lotus fields, elegant flocks of storks and Yamadanishiki rice crop that grows on the slopes of the nearby Sanuki Mountains. These mountains also provide the water used for brewing, so each sip you take is a taste of the local environment. Honke Matsuura supports its local community by using rice from the surrounding Tokushima Prefecture and is committed to the health and happiness of its brewers.
