Brewing the time, reflecting the land. A new generation of sake - "itonami 2024
The Wakatsuru Brewery, which has a history of over 100 years in Tonami, Toyama, has made a new move to challenge the next generation and the world,
Itonami" is a new step for the next generation and the world.
✳︎
The new product to be released in 2024 is a revolutionary low-alcohol sake made from the raw materials of sake brewing.
Itonami utilizes the knowledge of wooden fermentation tanks and lactic acid bacteria cultivated through whiskey production,
For the fermentation, we used indigenous lactic acid bacteria derived from "kabura-zushi" and a new type of yeast developed by Toyama Prefecture.
The mellow aroma is reminiscent of melon or pear, and the taste is mildly sweet,
The deep aftertaste of sourness and umami creates a mellowness that is hard to imagine from the light 13% alcohol content.
Tradition and innovation, the land and people's activities come together in this sake.
This sake is the very "work" that will illuminate the future of sake.
