New sake from Toyama! Wakatsuru Sake Brewery's new brand "itonami 2024" is now available
A new brand “itonami 2024” has been released by Wakatsuru Sake Brewery in Toyama. This year, we are using Kimoto-zukuri to create a rich flavor that is easy to drink.
Wakatsuru Sake Brewery in Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture, which was founded in the Edo period and produces and sells sake and whisky, has released a new brand "itonami" last year, which is the first in the "itonami" series to produce low-alcohol unblended sake made from raw motomoto. Itonami) 2024” was released on May 5th (Thursday).
"itonami" is a new brand that reconsiders traditional sake and sake brewing, and proposes "future sake" by challenging manufacturing methods and ingredients that have not been used by [Wakatsuru Sake Brewery] until now. They use Kimoto-zukuri, a method of cultivating yeast using force.
itonami 2024 720ml 2475 yen
Alcohol content: 13%, Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic rice), Raw rice: 100% Yamada Nishiki from Toyama Prefecture
It has a calm aroma reminiscent of melon and pear, and when you put it in your mouth, it has a sweetness that spreads, rich acidity, and a strong flavor that doesn't make you feel that it's low in alcohol. We strive for a richness that is easy to drink and will satisfy both those who are used to drinking sake and those who are drinking it for the first time.
