This highly collectible release celebrates the historic milestone of the 90th anniversary of Kyokai No. 6 yeast, which was originally isolated at the Aramasa brewery in 1930. Crafted using the traditional Kimoto starter method and fermented in wooden casks (kioke), this sake showcases the Miyama Nishiki rice variety, known for imparting a clean, structured, and deeply mineral profile. The expression represents a harmonious bridge between Aramasa's rich heritage and their modern, low-intervention brewing philosophy, resulting in a sake defined by pristine clarity, vibrant natural acidity, and a complex, textured finish.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1852 in Akita Prefecture, Japan, Aramasa Shuzo is a legendary brewery currently led by eighth-generation president Yusuke Sato, who has revolutionized the house with a focus on heritage and natural brewing. Aramasa is globally revered as the birthplace of Kyokai No. 6 yeast, the oldest active sake yeast strain distributed in Japan, which they use exclusively across their entire portfolio. Operating with a strict commitment to traditional methods, the brewery utilizes 100% Akita-grown rice, employs the labor-intensive kimoto starter method, and ferments its liquids in cedar wooden casks (kioke) without any additives. Their highly sought-after, low-alcohol, and beautifully acidic expressions—such as the iconic No. 6 series, Colors collection, and avant-garde releases like Invisible Pink Unicorn—have redefined modern sake, bridging the gap between traditional Japanese craftsmanship and contemporary fine wine aesthetics.
