✨ Technical Specifications
Aramasa's No. 6 series is the definitive liquid chronicle of Kyokai No. 6, the oldest active brewing yeast managed by the Brewing Society of Japan, which was originally isolated on-site at Aramasa Shuzo in 1930. The elusive 'A-Type' is a highly limited, celebratory expression within this iconic lineup. Brewed in Akita Prefecture using 100% traditional Kimoto starter methods and wooden brewing casks (kioke), this sake represents the pinnacle of eighth-generation president Yusuke Sato's revolutionary philosophy. It seamlessly bridges ancient heritage with a contemporary, wine-like style, offering a pristine profile defined by vibrant acidity, subtle natural effervescence, and a clean, mineral-driven finish.
🍾 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.
