Kidoizumi specialise in their traditional Hot Yamahai fermentation method using natural yeast. The technique gives their sakes vibrant acidity and depth of flavour, making them delicious when young and suitable for aging for decades. 

This sake was six years old and already a complex character when it was poured into a 72-litre cedar cask to finish.

What you can expect:

Aromatic wood, oxidative mushrooms, nuts and straw, sweet on the palate with dry finish.
