Probaly more well known as the Hitachio Nest Brewery, the Kiuchi brrewery has been brewing sake since 1823 in Konosu Village, (now part of Naka City in the Ibaraki Prefecture, a bit North East of Tokyo), and are now onto their 8th generation of family brewers (they started brewing beer only in 1996). This is based off a Junmai sake which means there is no added alcohol and is a lighter and more elegant style than most. In their own words:-
We pickled "Tardif de Bourgogne", which is said to be the world's rarest hop, in the sparkling junmai sake "Tanshiku" made with white koji. It is a crimson liqueur that matches the citrus aroma and the sweet and sour taste of light drops.

Showcasing the natural flavour of Hyogo’s Yamadanishiki rice grain, polished until only 60% of the grain is left, this sake has a satisfyingly umami rich flavour profile which is rich but refreshing. A clean and well-structured traditional brew.
