Aramasa Annual Fermentation Report 2026 Part I (Subarashiki Sakamai no Sekai Cosmos & Ash)【新政 頒布会 2026 PART I 素晴らしき酒米の世界 秋櫻樽酒 & 水墨低精白80%磨き】

"Cosmos Barrel-Aged" is built upon an elegant and refined foundation, with barrel maturation adding gentle woody nuances and greater aromatic complexity. Layers of fruit notes, subtle lactic character, and delicate oak influence intertwine seamlessly, creating the distinctive balance for which Aramasa is renowned. Freshness and depth coexist in remarkable harmony, expressing the brewery's unique aesthetic philosophy through every sip.

"Ash – Low-Polish 80%" represents Aramasa's continued exploration of the possibilities of low-polishing brewing. With the rice polished only to 80%, the natural character of the grain and its terroir are preserved to the greatest extent possible. The aroma is restrained yet profound, while the palate unfolds with rich rice-derived umami, natural acidity, and mineral nuances that reveal themselves layer by layer. Pure, focused, and full of tension, it evokes the spirit of traditional ink-wash painting—achieving complexity through simplicity and showcasing the rice's most authentic expression.

Aramasa Annual Fermentation Report 2026 Part I – "The Wonderful World of Sake Rice" is one of Aramasa's most highly anticipated annual limited-edition projects, dedicated to exploring the unique characteristics and brewing potential of different sake rice varieties. This first installment features two highly distinctive and experimental creations: "Cosmos Barrel-Aged" and "Ash – Low-Polish 80%."

One graceful and refined, the other bold and contemplative; one expressive and elegant, the other deep and introspective. Together, these two releases embody Aramasa's profound exploration of sake rice, terroir, and brewing philosophy. Not only do they possess exceptional collectible value, but they also offer sake enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience two contrasting yet complementary visions of modern sake craftsmanship.
