Tamagawa “Time Machine” 1712
Kyoto prefecture
Made to pair with ice cream
Tamagawa “Time Machine” 1712 is brewed according to a method recorded in 1712. With an 88% rice polishing ratio — close to that of table rice — the Hyogo Kitanishiki rice they use leaves more proteins, minerals and vitamins to be broken down into umami. This ageable product deepens in color by the year. It’s mead-like, with notes of gooseberry, jasmine flowers and honey. The recommended pairing is ice cream.
Actual vintage year may differ from product image shown.

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.
