Brewed by sixth-generation kuramoto Ryutaro Miyoshi, this sake is a bold tribute to the roots of Japanese brewing. Crafted with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to only 90%, it retains the full character of the grain—offering a distinctly dry, umami-rich profile that is both rustic and refined.

Nicknamed “Kodai no Karakuchi” (Ancient Dry), this sake reflects a philosophy where strength and integrity of ingredients take centre stage. Made without pumps and handled entirely by gravity, it is a rare expression of careful, hands-on brewing.

Expect a crisp, structured palate with a gentle spice, layered texture, and profound depth drawn from the unpolished rice. Best enjoyed from the third glass onward, either neat, on the rocks, or with soda, especially alongside bold dishes such as aromatic Chinese cuisine.

A sake that evokes the ancient bond between rice and people—powerful, soulful, and deeply rooted in history.
