June 24, 2025 Featured on KBS Kyoto's "Oyaji Kyoto Drink"! This is a unique sake made by Mukai Shuzo in Ine, Kyoto Prefecture, using ancient rice (red rice and purple Komachi). Ine Town is a popular tourist destination both domestically and internationally, known for its scenic boathouses that appear to float on the sea, fresh seafood, and historic townscape. * The ancient rice's polyphenols (anthocyanins) give it a vibrant red color, like rosé wine. * The taste is a refreshing sake with a sweet and sour cherry-like flavor and a rich rice umami, with a sweet and fruity, fruit-wine-like mouthfeel. * Alcohol content is around 14-15%. * Recommended to drink chilled, on the rocks, or with soda; it also pairs well with warm sake. * Made with care using the traditional kimoto method, by female Toji (master brewer) Kuniko Mukai. * Annual production is limited, and it is a popular brand that is also served in high-end restaurants both domestically and internationally. * Comes with a special gift box.
