Monsei Junmai Kimoto Vintage 2017 is a premium sake produced with 100% Hitogokochi brewer's rice cultivated in Kita-Azumino using specialized deep water cultivation methods and polished to 65%. This Black Label brew is the only one in the Monsei line to be produced with Hitogokochi rice. Rice is prepared at nine contract farms within a 10km radius of the brewery. This rice is cultivated at higher water depths than standard rice, producing a thicker stalk and less rice yield, but in turn imparting more nutrients to each grain of rice and thickening the size of the inner white granule, making it ideal for special sake brews. The cool and clear underground waters of Japan's Northern Alps are referred to as "Treasure Water" for their quality. Among these, soft Onnamizu water from the Iyari Wetlands, a protected habitat in Nagano Prefecture and originating in thaw water, is used to produce this brew. In this way, this special bottled sake focuses exclusively on the best terroir brews. One notable feature is that the date of brewing is listed on the bottle, letting you compare different annual flavor profiles and aging. The Black Label brand is brewed using a traditional sake yeast mash starter, in which the power of nature is harnessed through natural lactic acid bacteria, which imparts a uniquely gentle tart note and leads to a more elegant flavor profile. This sake has a distinctive flavor without being overpowering, and lets you savor the differences that aging brings. It pairs very well with richer meat dishes. Though premium in quality, it is priced at an affordable rate.
The Monsei brand explained
This premium sake brand has a very rich and full-bodied umami flavor profile. This terroir sake is produced using clear and cool underground waters from Japan's Northern Alps referred to as "Treasure Water," as well as rice from deep water cultivation, a specialized technique used at contract farms within a 10km radius of the brewery, and only the middle yield of the mash being bottled. We are pleased to offer this beverage here from the first label, Monten, at an affordable pricepoint.

Polishing ratio
