Kimoto Junmai Sake Monten Vintage 2016

The name Monten has the meaning of continuing to ask heaven, "What is the true premium in sake?" In addition, from the time of squeezing by the chief brewer, carefully selected parts are sorted out and placed one by one.

Such Monten is a new brand that thoroughly pursues the growth environment of crops, that is, "terroir" and "domaine", which refers to the owner of the vineyard .
Among them, the biggest feature is that they only use rice harvested from specified paddy fields within a 10km radius from the brewery.
And of course, we use spring water from the local Northern Alps for preparation.
In addition, inheriting the tradition of Toji Otani, who places importance on making things that match Nagano Prefecture, the earnest and sincere way of making is demonstrating high performance worthy of the MONTEN brand name.

In addition, pure rice sake is a trial brewing of the ancient shubo manufacturing method "Kimoto making" with Hakuba Nishiki.
It uses 65% Hitogokochi, and is characterized by its refreshing sourness and soft umami of rice.
