"Nanbubijin All Koji (500ml)" is an innovative, special Junmai that, rather than Sake, is brewed entirely from rice koji. It uses 100% rice koji (the white rice used to produce koji malt), which makes up only about 20% of the rice used in typical sake brewing. As such, it is characterized by a rich sweetness, savory flavor and elegant acidity derived from the koji. You can enjoy it in a variety of ways, including on the rocks, mixed with soda, or with fruit. In addition, because it is a sake suitable for long-term aging, you can enjoy the sight of it turning a deep amber color as you let it mature. The toji (“chief brewer”) and brewery workers here have inherited the refined technology and traditions of the "Nanbutoji", the foremost of Japan’s three great toji groups. They have produced this convention-defying Junmai using rice koji and pure subsoil water from Orizume Basenkyo, a prefectural natural park in Ninohe City, Iwate Prefecture.
