Description
An exceptional sake, between tradition and innovation
The estate
Sakuramasamune is a historic brewery in Hyogo Prefecture, belonging to the Yamamura family, sake producers since 1625. A pioneer in the study of water's influence on sake quality, it has played an essential role in the evolution of this Japanese tradition.
Origins and production
In 1840, Tazaemon Yamamura discovered the Miyamizu spring, key to the quality of local sakes. This water, now highly protected, shapes the excellence of numerous breweries. In 1904, Sakuramasamune distinguished itself once again by providing the yeast strain that gave birth to Kyokai Kobo No.1, a national reference. With 400 years of history, it is now managed by the 11th generation of Yamamura and continues to excel thanks to Yamada-Nishiki rice, one of the finest in Japan.
This sake is made from rice carefully polished to 65%, in order to extract all its purity and aromatic elegance, and is enhanced by an alcohol content of 15.5%.
