✨ Technical Specifications
Aramasa's 'Colors' series is a masterclass in showcasing the unique terroir of Akita Prefecture through local heritage rice varieties. The 'Ecru' bottling represents the foundation of this collection, brewed using 100% Sake Komachi rice. This highly limited 'For Morocco' edition was created as a special charity release by eighth-generation president Yusuke Sato to support earthquake relief efforts in Morocco. In keeping with Aramasa's strict natural brewing philosophy, this sake is produced using the traditional Kimoto starter method, fermented in wooden casks (kioke), and powered exclusively by the historic Kyokai No. 6 yeast, which was originally isolated on-site in 1930. The resulting brew is celebrated for its natural, wine-like acidity, pristine minerality, and delicate notes of stone fruit and sweet rice.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1852 in Akita Prefecture, Japan, Aramasa Shuzo is one of the sake world's most revolutionary and revered historic breweries. Under the avant-garde leadership of eighth-generation owner Yusuke Sato, the kura strictly champions traditional, natural brewing methodologies, utilizing only native Akita rice cultivars, wooden fermentation vats (kioke), and the time-honored kimoto method without additives. Aramasa is famously the historic birthplace of Kyokai Yeast No. 6, isolated here in 1930, which the brewery now uses exclusively across its entire production. Renowned for vibrant acidity, exceptional clarity, and wine-like complexity, Aramasa produces iconic cult expressions including the unpasteurized No. 6 series, the terroir-focused Colors collection, and the rare, boundary-pushing Private Lab series featuring labels like Invisible Pink Unicorn.
