Fermented & Aged in Yakushima Clay Pots
Born in the embrace of the island, a World Natural Heritage Site, Yakushima, this sake offers a deep and rich flavor. We recommend it as a special treat that allows you to enjoy a moment of bliss with the gentle flow of time.
This handcrafted sake is made at Yakushima Denshogura using the traditional method of kame-jar brewing and aging. Made from the sweet and soft water of Yakushima and high-quality sweet potato, this sake has been brewed using the same kame jars since the Meiji era for the primary and secondary fermentation. Furthermore, the genshu (undiluted sake) is aged in kame jars in a tunnel warehouse located at the foot of Mt. Taichu in Yakushima, where it is shielded from the influence of light and matured quietly for over a year in a cool environment.
* "Mukau" is a term from the words of the ancient Chinese scholar Zhuangzi, meaning something that is natural and without artificiality.
