- 酒蔵について
- Kikuno-ji Sake Brewery aims to brew sake with a crisp, clear flavor by taking advantage of the severe cold of Morioka, the coldest city in Honshu, and its soft spring water. The Nakatsu River, which runs directly behind the Kiku-no-Masa Brewery, is a calm, clear stream with a shimmering riverbed throughout the year. In summer, ayu (sweetfish) fishing is popular, in autumn salmon come up to spawn, and in winter swans fly in. At our brewery, water from the subsoil of the Nakatsu River is pumped from a well and used as brewing water. The water, polished by the earth of Iwate, contains moderate mineral content and is soft. This brewing water is the lifeblood of our brewery, bringing out the flavor of the rice and carefully fermenting it at low temperatures. The brewery uses locally grown rice for more than 90% of the rice used for sake brewing, with "Yunokou," "Ginotome," and "Ginginga" as the main rice varieties suitable for sake brewing. The soft-water brewing process easily brings out the flavor of the rice, and slow, low-temperature fermentation for three weeks or longer produces sake with a bright aroma and a strong, crisp flavor. It has a gorgeous yet core flavor, with a good balance of sourness, bitterness, and astringency in addition to sweetness.
