Hatsumago Kimoto Tradition 720ml

Hatsumago Kimoto Tradition is a premium junmai sake from Yamagata Prefecture, crafted using the time-honored Kimoto brewing method. This traditional technique allows for a slow, natural fermentation, resulting in a sake with deep umami, a gentle acidity, and a smooth, refined finish. It has a light dryness, complemented by rich complexity and a clean, crisp aftertaste.

Brewed by Tohoku Meijo Shuzo, a renowned brewery dedicated to preserving traditional craftsmanship, Hatsumago Kimoto Tradition is made from Miyama Nishiki rice, polished to 60% to enhance its balanced and nuanced flavor. With an alcohol content of 15.5% and a sake meter value (SMV) of +3, it offers a versatile drinking experience that can be enjoyed slightly chilled for a refreshing crispness or gently warmed for a fuller, rounded taste.

This sake pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from delicate sushi and grilled fish to heartier options like yakitori or even creamy pasta. A true expression of Japanese brewing mastery, Hatsumago Kimoto Tradition is an excellent choice for both seasoned sake lovers and those exploring traditional sake for the first time.
