Brewery List [Fukuoka Area] （12/14）

2015.08.03

12. Izu Honten (伊豆本店): "The brewery's vigor and energy has brought about a revival of rare sake rice."

Recommended Sake from the Brewery:

# 1
Junmai Ginjo-shu Jugem
(純米吟醸酒寿限無)

This brewery, having revived the top quality sake rice "Kame no O" that had all but disappeared in the post-war period, has produced sake using "Jugemu", a rice perfectly suited for the brewing process, which is made in Fukuoka through cross fertilizing "Yamada Nishiki" rice with "Yumeikkon" rice.

The supple, smooth nature of the sake, has a mature slightly sour taste, which is simply irresistible.

# 2
Kame no O Nama Chozoshu
(亀の尾生貯蔵酒)

A new sake stored cold that undergoes heat treatment before being shipped-out. The fresh taste is highly appealing.
