The aging period is approximately 3 to 6 years, and each vintage undergoes nearly perfect maturation, exuding a delicate golden hue and matured aromas such as nuts and almonds, along with the fragrances of white peach and pear. Like a meticulously cut diamond, its texture is exquisitely smooth, akin to clear water, with a harmonious balance of flavors. While it maintains a modest assertion, within the unfolding aromatic layers, one can sense a certain presence, awakening the senses as if in heightened awareness.
The 2015 "MUNI" carries a sweet and aromatic fragrance, prominently displaying the flavors of maturation, characterized by its sweetness and acidity. Gradually transitioning from evident fruity notes, it evolves into a matured taste. Upon entry, it spreads gently across the palate, and despite its pronounced sweetness, the acidity remains remarkably balanced, leaving a rich aftertaste that offers a highly pleasurable gustatory experience.
Every few years, the bidding event organized by Kokuryu Sake Brewing Corporation takes place in Tokyo. Only authorized retailers of Kokuryu Sake Brewing Corporation are permitted to participate in this gathering, where they present the unparalleled creation that Kokuryu Sake Brewing Corporation has poured its heart and soul into, named "MUNI." This sake is crafted using the finest sake rice, meticulously polished to a rate of 35% seimaibuai, and fermented under strict temperature control at a chilling -2°C.
Though this sake produced by Kokuryu Sake Brewing Corporation has been exported to various parts of the world, its production remains extremely limited. Each bottle bears a batch number, serving not only as a mark of its uniqueness as "MUNI" but also symbolizing the "shape" of emotions such as happiness and contentment for its recipients, thus playing a symbolic role expressing multiple meanings. Blending brewing tradition with innovation, history with modernity, ideals with reality, "MUNI" encapsulates countless stories, giving rise to its existence. It is the ultimate creation meticulously crafted by Kokuryu Sake Brewing Corporation, representing their artistry and achievements.
Due to the complex and variable climate conditions in the 2015 brewing year, the sake displays significant variations across different regions. The brewing process focused on producing robust koji mold, meticulously crafted to avoid impurities. This contributes to a relatively mild sake aroma and rich taste, supplemented by a complementary sweetness, which becomes a distinctive feature of this sake. Evaluated by multiple sommeliers, this unique sweetness remains perceptible even after more than 6 years of aging, while the acidity also exhibits stronger characteristics. Therefore, this sake is considered to possess the distinctive flavors specific to the year 2015, clearly conveying a sense of maturity, offering a unique taste experience.
