Product details
Kodama Jozo presents Taiheizan “Great and Peaceful Mountain” Kimoto Pure Rice Selection, a bold and traditional expression rooted in Akita’s centuries-old brewing heritage. Named after Mount Taihei, this label reflects strength, harmony, and reverence for nature. Crafted using the historic kimoto starter method—an exacting process that relies on natural lactic development and patient fermentation—this release showcases depth, structure, and authentic character. Made with locally sourced rice and pristine northern water, it delivers a full-bodied profile designed for those who appreciate classic, umami-driven Japanese craftsmanship with remarkable balance and aging potential.
The aroma opens with a distinctive earthy tone, layered with savory nuances reminiscent of forest floor and wild fungi. On the palate, it is rich, rounded, and deeply satisfying, offering pronounced umami supported by firm yet harmonious acidity. Its broad structure creates a smooth, expansive mouthfeel that lingers with warmth and complexity. Enjoy it chilled for clarity, at room temperature for balance, or gently warmed to enhance its savory depth. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb, fresh oysters, and barbecue eel, where its robust body and structured finish complement bold, flavorful dishes.
