ABOUT 

Made from extremely rare and organically grown Kame-no-o rice. It translates as the Turtle's Tail but it’s also known as phantom rice because it was brought back from extinction. Only polished 90% so you get all the flavor. Plus there's Riesling-like acidity and complexity from the Aramasa yeast. SERVING Contemplate chilled or room temperature.

BREWERY

The Afuri series from Kikkawa Jozo is brewed with water from a rain-fed spring at the foot of Mount Afuri in Kanagawa. It is naturally harder than typical sake brewing water at 150ppm in equal parts Calcium and Magnesium. These nutrients allow for extremely low temperature fermentation to develop extra complexity. Founded in 1912, Kikkawa once made rich and dry sake. The 7th generation chief brewer Masanori Mizuno took over in 2012 changing focus to a complex, robust and aromatic style balanced by ancient acid production techniques.
