About the brewery : Located in the magnificent region of Fushimi, south of Kyoto, one of the most popular sake regions in Japan, the Masuda Tokubee brewery is bordered by three large rivers. Thanks to this access to water and river transport, many breweries have been established here since the 17th century. Masuda Tokubee has been here since 1675 and is the oldest brewery in Fushimi. Masuda Tokubee is a pioneer in the bottling of Nigori, unfiltered sake.
About Tamagawa 2017 Kimoto : Tamagawa 2017 Kimoto is a traditional slow-brewed kimoto sake made from natural rice, grown specifically to support the stork population near the brewery. Slightly woody aroma and taste, matured for six years. Rich in flavour, but easy to pair with food. Can be drunk at any temperature, although brewmaster Philip Harper prefers it warm.
