With a rich aroma reminiscent of rice and grains, combined with hints of caramel and dried shiitake mushrooms, this sake evokes a concentrated essence akin to Shaoxing wine. While the predominant flavor is a deep and savory richness accompanied by acidity, reminiscent of yogurt, it also exudes lightness and naturalness. The true character of this sake shines when served warm. However, overheating can mask its flavor due to its spiciness, so it's recommended to enjoy it lukewarm to slightly warm, around 35 to slightly above. Overflowing with the tangy richness reminiscent of clam broth, this sake delights the palate.

Tamanohikari Brewery Company

Tamanohikari Brewery Company

Kyoto

"Tamanohikari" will celebrate its 350th anniversary in 2023. The brewery’s goal is to produce "sincere" sake, using only the finest ingredients. Throughout its long history, the essence of Japanese sake has always been "Junmai" (pure rice sake). In the 1960s, when sake made with added alcohol, sugars, and amino acids was common, Tamano Hikari Brewery led the industry by reviving Junmai sake in 1964. To this day, this commitment remains unchanged. Only the best rice, water, and koji (mold) are used in production. The brewing process also adheres to traditional handcraft methods as much as possible. The ideal sake produced is one that pairs well with food, offering a refreshing and unpretentious taste that complements any dish. The clean, pure aftertaste of "Tamanohikari" is a testament to the sincerity that the brewery has upheld for generations.
