The oriental stork was almost wiped out in Japan as pesticides wrecked their habitats. In Toyooka City, farmers grow rice organically to help bring the birds back. The nearby Kinoshita brewery turns their Gohyakumangoku into a kimoto brew with a complexity that deepens with time.

What you can expect:

A powerful brew with a dry finish. Layers and layers of flavour.
