Located in the town of Iga in Mie. Rumiko Moriki is the 4th generation of her family to own the brewery. Along with her husband Hideki are the Kuramoto [owners] of this tiny brewery. Rumiko became the first female Toji in Japan around 25 years ago when she took over the sake making duties at her family owned brewery.
This sake is designed by Toji Rie Toyomoto. Rie once again has crafted a wonderful sake from locally grown Ise Nishiki rice. The sake has a deep aroma while the palate has depth and power. It is layered and long with vibrantly fresh backbone of acidity.
