Imayotsukasa
With a single sip, the rich umami of the rice spreads generously across the palate. Without relying on added alcohol, this sake offers a depth unique to Junmai and a pleasant, clean finish. Imayotsukasa Sake Brewery is located in Numata, Niigata City, with origins dating back to 1767 (Meiwa 4). It began as a sake wholesaler and reportedly started brewing its own sake around the mid-Meiji era. Since 2006, they have switched to 'entirely Junmai brewing,' adding no brewing alcohol at all, and continue to brew only Junmai sake. There is even an anecdote where it was described as 'not goldfish, but Nishikigoi (koi)' because they used to ship it undiluted. It is also a popular brewery for tours, accessible on foot from Niigata Station. It is a local brewery that connects people and sake.
