Miyoshino Jozo was established in 1912. The current Toji [Master Brewer] at Miyoshino Jozo is Teruaki Hashimoto, who returned to the Kura after studying sake Brewing at Tokyo Nodai, Japan’s foremost academic institution of brewing studies. He started working in 2006 and became Toji in 2009. Hashimoto-san focuses on yeast which he believes is the best representation of the local environment and the acids emitted by the yeast make the resultant sake very unique.
The Nature X Nature is a very unique sake. It is made in the traditional Kijoshu method utilising both Yamahai & Mizumoto starter methods. The result is a masterpiece of elegant, rich sweetness with a harmonious acidic backbone. Stunning!
