AboutImanishi Shuzo
Imanishi Shuzo was founded in 1660 in Miwa, Nara, at the foot of sacred Mount Miwa. The brewery draws well water from the mountain and works with rice growers along the same water vein. Yamadanishiki and Nara’s Tsuyuhakaze are among the rice varieties it uses.
Rice is washed in ten-kilogram lots and carried by hand. Its Mimurosugi range includes sake made with bodaimoto, a traditional fermentation starter.
Mimurosugi Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 720 mL
Japanese Sake
Apple, pear and lemon aromas lead into a round, silky palate with bright acidity and measured rice umami. The fruit remains precise rather than sweet, and the texture carries smoothly toward a long, dry finish. Refined but not delicate to the point of fragility, it works naturally at the table. Serve slightly chilled with sashimi, grilled white fish, shellfish, tempura or lightly seasoned poultry.
Mimurosugi Bodaimoto Sake 720 mL
Japanese Sake
A gentle, clean aroma introduces fresh rice and a softly rounded savoury note. The palate is light in movement but carries rich umami through a smooth, layered texture. Fine acidity gives the middle definition and keeps the richness poised. The finish gathers quiet power without becoming heavy, leaving delicate grain, fresh acidity and a clear, composed aftertaste.
