In a sense, you could say that brewmaster (Toji)\u0026nbsp;Miho Imada is making a sake that takes advantage of both ancient and contemporary brewing methods. Kimoto is all about acidity and especially lactic acid, whereas the modern sokujo brewing method focuses on clarity and purity. In a fusion of the two approaches, Imada shuzo produces a complex and nuanced sake that feels refreshingly new. The raw material used is as unique\u0026nbsp;as is the novel brewing process.

A gentle bottle pasteurization and rapid bottling after pressing, results in a very vibrant\u0026nbsp;and juicy sake with a slight\u0026nbsp;effervesance, which Fukucho is known for. The acidity is fresh and uplifting with slightly sharp green notes. There are creamy elements that become more apparent as the glass nears\u0026nbsp;room temperature, where the umami also expresses itself.
