Yamashiroya Rusui

The essence of kimoto, quietly penetrating.

This sake is a refined version of the previous Yamashiroya First Class, with its philosophy and design further honed.
It is brewed with the aim of expressing the traditional kimoto method more quietly and beautifully.

Instead of emphasizing power and individuality, this sake is designed to thoroughly remove any hint of off-flavors, purely bringing out the inherent charm of rice and water.
While retaining the solid structure characteristic of kimoto, it carefully preserves only the transparent outline.

Upon tasting, it has a smooth mouthfeel, like clear water slowly spreading.
The depth derived from kimoto is certainly felt, yet everything harmonizes gently, and the aftertaste lingers quietly and long.

Without competing for showiness or boasting strength, it is simply a pure and memorable taste.
This sake embodies the philosophy of the new Yamashiroya, "Returning to the mountains. Limited regression," in its most refined form.
