Description

🍶 Hatsumago Densho Kimoto Honjozo

Traditional Kimoto Brewing • Rich Umami • IWC Gold & Trophy Winner

A honjozo sake that embodies Hatsumago’s long-standing tradition of kimoto brewing.

This time-honoured method slowly develops the yeast starter through the natural activity of lactic acid bacteria, creating a sake with satisfying umami, depth, and structure. Its rich acidity gives the sake a versatile character that changes beautifully depending on serving temperature.

🍷 Elegant Acidity & Mellow Umami

When served chilled, the acidity feels gentler and reveals a clean, subtle character reminiscent of white wine.

When warmed, the sake becomes softer and rounder, bringing out mellow umami and greater depth. This makes it easy to enjoy with a wide range of meals, from light dishes to richer Japanese comfort food.

Hatsumago is brewed by Tohoku Meijo in Sakata, Yamagata.

Founded in 1893, the brewery has continued to preserve its traditional kimoto brewing heritage and is known as one of the few breweries in Japan dedicated to kimoto-style sake making.
