✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Aramasa Assortment Case represents the ultimate holy grail for sake connoisseurs, curating a selection of the brewery's most limited, sought-after, and experimental releases. Under the visionary leadership of eighth-generation president Yusuke Sato, Aramasa has redefined modern sake by looking deeply into its past. Each bottle in these highly coveted collections is brewed using 100% traditional Kimoto starter methods, local Akita sake rice, and wooden brewing casks (kioke). Crucially, they rely solely on Kyokai No. 6 yeast, the oldest active strain managed by the Brewing Society of Japan, which was originally isolated at Aramasa in 1930. These assortment cases showcase the breathtaking spectrum of Aramasa's style—marked by a signature wine-like acidity, pristine minerality, and an effervescent freshness that challenges the boundaries of traditional sake.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Aramasa Shuzo blev grundlagt i 1852 i Akita-præfekturet i Japan og regnes i dag for et af sakeverdenens mest revolutionerende og hæderkronede bryggerier. Under ledelse af den avantgardistiske ottendegenerations-ejer Yusuke Sato værner bryggeriet kompromisløst om traditionelle og naturlige fremstillingsmetoder. Her arbejdes der udelukkende med lokale Akita-rissorter, gæring på traditionelle træfade (kioke) og den ældgamle, tidskrævende kimoto-metode helt uden tilsætningsstoffer. Aramasa er desuden det historiske ophavssted for Kyokai Gær Nr. 6, som blev isoleret her i 1930, og som bryggeriet i dag benytter eksklusivt til hele sin produktion. Saken er berømt for sin spændstige syre, bemærkelsesværdige renhed og vinøse kompleksitet. Aramasa står bag en række ikoniske kultudgivelser, herunder den upasteuriserede No. 6-serie, den terroir-drevne Colors-kollektion samt den sjældne, nyskabende Private Lab-serie med legendariske aftapninger som Invisible Pink Unicorn.
