Tsuchida “Kimoto”
Proudly local and traditional
Tsuchida Sake Brewery uses the orthodox kimoto starter method for all of their sake. The mash absorbs the ambient lactic acid bacteria from the environment, creating a more pronounced acidity. For this brew, local Gunma prefecture rice is polished to 60% — more polished than many of their other sake. This final taste is complex with notes of cream, almond and dried fruit. A gentle sweetness balances Tsuchida’s signature umami.
