Asahi Brewery Description
Established in 1830 with the motto of "quality first". Brewing sake is making rice. Not only do they focus on obtaining high quality sake rice, they dedicate time and effort in their labs to increase said rice's quality. Their efforts do not stop there however - in order to help sustain the environment, they implement the ISO14000 system of environmental sustainability, and also participate in various activities to preserve their natural surroundings. Additionally, they hold tea ceremonies, concerts, and cultural events for the local community. The goal is to make a fun, sustainable, and ultimately enjoyable environment with sake.
- Food Pairings: Grilled pork, seabream wrapped in konbu (kelp)
- Tasting Notes: This edition of Kubota Manju is characterized by three key factors: the sake rice, the rice polishing method, and the original "YX" yeast. The “Gohyakumangoku” rice used in this sake comes from the local Koshiji Region of Nagaoka City in Niigata Prefecture, with the brewery involved in the cultivation process of the rice as well. The sake rice is then polished in house down to a ratio of 40% using the original shape (genkei) polishing method. Finally, the sake is brewed with "YX" yeast, an original brewery-developed yeast cultivated over many years. This results in a dynamic, multi-layered, and elegant nose with a deep, mellow flavor. As expected of a Niigata sake, the finish is clean and crisp. This limited edition of Kubota Manjyu is a beautiful addition when celebrating various milestone birthdays, weddings and other significant events in your life.
