Wataya Junmai Genshu Omachi 60

🍶
Description

Kanenoi Shuzo (金の井酒造), founded in 1873 in Tome City along the Kitakami River in Miyagi Prefecture, produces the Wataya (綿屋) line, a name recalling the cotton merchant heritage of the brewery's founding family, rooted in the commercial history of this northern Tohoku river town. This junmai genshu uses Omachi rice, the ancient Okayama cultivar known as the grandfather of sake rice, polished to 60% and bottled undiluted at full natural strength. Omachi is prized for the earthy depth, minerality, and structural complexity it contributes that purpose-bred modern varieties cannot replicate, and in an undiluted genshu format its weight is amplified. The Kitakami River valley, with its cold winters and clean snowmelt water, provides an ideal environment for slow fermentation that extracts the full character of this demanding heritage rice.

Kanenoi Shuzo Co.,Ldt

Miyagi
Founded in Taisho 4 (1915). At the Ichizako district of Kurihara City, the northernmost part of Miyagi Prefecture, Kaneda Village at the time was named "Kinnoi" because it was a production area of ​​good water and good rice. In 1987, Miura Mikinori, the fourth generation, entered the storehouse, welcomed Nanbu Tori in 1996, and started making sake brewing, and made the brand's name. We are particular about the diversity of sake and rice, and we are working on contract cultivation with farmers nationwide, and recently we are focusing on sake brewing using local rice. In addition, "Cotta" continues to refine the sake quality as a sake that focuses on the matching with meals, and continues to refine the quality of sake as a sake that snuggles up to the dish, a dish and a friendly sake "food -like sake". We are making sake with the theme of delicious alcohol and fun alcohol.
