FUKUCHO LEGACY2

The brewery's sake for the competition was brewed by Kiyotaka Yasuhiro, the previous toji (master brewer) who left his legacy at the brewery. 1989, the brewer polished Yamada-Nishiki to 40% and produced a Fukuro-hari, tobin-dori daiginjo-shu, the very technique of the Hiroshima toji, who inherited the soft water brewing method. It was bottled in its undiluted state and quietly laid in a refrigerator.
Tomikyucho LEGACY KIJOZAKE is a fusion of cutting-edge technology with the Tomikyucho vintage, which still retains its clear, pure brilliance after approximately 30 years.
Kijoshu is a luxurious sake in which sake is used instead of brewing water at the end of the three-stage brewing process. Tomikyucho Vintage is used for the third stage, and the 40% polished Yamadanishiki rice is combined with ginjo-zukuri techniques.

The first and second stages express the individuality of the yellow and white malted rice.
Tomikyucho LEGACY I" uses traditional yellow malted rice and has a smooth texture that melts on the tongue with a soft sweetness. It has a smooth texture that melts on the palate and a soft sweetness, bringing out the complexity of the vintage flavor, and is finished with a clear, clean taste that is typical of Tomikunaga.
Tomikyucho LEGACY II uses white malted rice for shochu that produces citric acid (an acid abundant in lemons) to create a sharp aftertaste that is enhanced when served with food, and a pleasant drinking experience where sweetness and acidity compete with each other.
It can be enjoyed with food on special occasions with loved ones or after a meal in a relaxed atmosphere. When poured into a wine glass, the wine gradually becomes softer and softer from the cold temperature. Enjoy the rich and pleasant aftertaste.

This is a limited edition sake with a serial number and signature.
FUKUCHO LEGACY" is a unique sake that can never be reproduced. Miho Imada has signed and numbered each bottle of this treasured sake with her own signature. The label is made of silver foil paper created some 40 years ago at Rekiseisha in Hiroshima. The label is handmade by craftsmen who laminated Japanese paper with silver foil. Because it is vintage, each piece has a different texture and expression. We want to create new value for sake by using modern technology, not by keeping old things old. This is what we want to express in our labels.
