The aroma is soft yet luxurious, reminiscent of ripe melon, with a gentle sweetness that feels elegant rather than ostentatious. The palate is round and rich, offering a fine, cotton-candy-like sweetness. The characteristic umami of Tsuyuhakaze rice intertwines with the refreshing wood tones imparted by wooden-vat fermentation, creating a complex and multilayered flavor. Toward the finish, a clean, crisp acidity emerges, bringing harmony and balance. The result is a beautifully integrated sake — refined, pure, and modern while rooted in tradition.
From Nara Prefecture’s revered Mimuro Sugi (Imanishi Syuzou) brewery near the sacred Miwa Shrine, Bodaimoto Tsuyuhakaze is part of the Kitaro Bodaimoto series — a revival of ancient sake-making traditions. Brewed with locally grown Tsuyuhakaze rice using the historic Bodaimoto method (originated at Shoryaku-ji Temple in Nara) and fermented in wooden vats, this sake captures the essence of Japan’s earliest brewing heritage. It embodies the philosophy of Mimuro Sugi — where classical craftsmanship meets modern precision — resulting in a sake of profound depth and quiet sophistication.
