Description
Ty Ku Sake has been overseen by the Yoshida Family for 124 years, spanning five generations, at the famed Umenoyado Brewery. In the heart of Nara, Japan, known as the “Birthplace of Sake” this brewery sits between the revered Katsuragi & Nijo Mountains. Not only is Umenoyado a 10 time winner of Zenkoku Shinshu Kanpyo Kai, the most prestigious sake competition in Japan, it is also the first female-owned brewery in Nara. Ty Ku Sake uses a soft, Iron-free water source from deep springs from the mountain ranges it sits between. To activate the main sake mash, Umenoyado uses natural heat convection and active koji in a premium, cedar-lined Koji room. Their traditional, natural methods result in some of the world’s finest sake, including Ty Ku Red Flower Junami. A Tokubetsu or “special” Junmai, Ty Ku Red Flower Sake is crafted with a blend of premium sake rices and ultra-purified water. The result is an extra smooth, subtle, and pleasing sake. Fresh, smooth and lightly sweet, Red Flower Sake offers subtle pear notes and a satisfying softness on the palate. Sip and enjoy Ty Ku Red Flower Sake chilled or in cocktails and paired with a wide range of dishes such as grilled seafood and meats or teppanyaki style Japanese cuisine.
