Additional Information

Brown rice has an invisible “life force.” MUSUBI made from sprouted brown rice. It tastes sour and has a characteristic smell similar to the fermented rice bran used for pickling known as nukazuke. The natural yeasts and microorganisms are still alive even after the freshly brewed sake is bottled. In other words, this sake is still living and changing its taste as it ages in the sealed bottle. This process, in fact, does not stop even after the bottle is opened, allowing you to enjoy the taste that subtly changes every day. We would love for you to try this sake, as it can “ferment even while in your stomach” via the natural fermentation power of sprouted brown rice and all the microorganisms taking part.
something

We brew our sake with absolute trust in the invisible power of the microorganisms living in our brewery for a long time. We want to make full use of the force of nature to develop authentic sake that delivers true benefits to all those who enjoy it. We use pesticide-free rice and also have been growing some pesticide-free rice by ourselvs. 

The brewing style in Terada Honke is called kimoto-zukuri. This is a traditional style where the brewers sing sake brewing songs as they did in the past and where the microorganisms inhabiting the brewery join forces to drive the natural fermentation. We do not add yeast or koji, but brew sake with the help of the microorganisms inhabits in the brewery and using pesticide-free rice. We apply the “tenohira zukuri” approach, in which they use their own hands to prepare the yeast starter. Our sake’s color is amber because it is unfiltered.
