Product details
Shichi Hon Yari Namazake Junmai is a seasonal release from Tomita Brewery, one of Japan's oldest family-run producers, founded in the 1540s in the historic town of Kinomoto, Shiga Prefecture. Crafted using locally grown Tamazakae rice and pure spring water sourced from the nearby Ibuki Mountains, this limited winter expression reflects centuries of dedication to traditional craftsmanship. Bottled immediately after pressing to preserve its vibrant character, it captures the freshness and energy unique to this seasonal style. Every stage of production is carried out with meticulous care, highlighting the brewery's commitment to authenticity and the expression of local ingredients.
On the palate, this fresh and lively release presents a distinctive aromatic profile with notes reminiscent of yeast and baked grain, followed by bright grapefruit-like flavors and the characteristic acidity associated with Tamazakae rice. Its crisp, clean finish enhances its refreshing and energetic character. Best served well chilled, it pairs beautifully with pickles, fresh salads, lightly seasoned vegetables, seafood appetizers, and other dishes featuring bright, clean flavors that complement its vibrant profile.
