Let it flow like a river

This unpasteurized sake is produced by Marumoto Brewing Company, whose brewery is a national cultural landmark. They grow the Yamadanishiki rice themselves, owning the process from start to finish. “Otoro” refers to a part of a river where the water is deep and the current is slow a nod to this sake’s luxurious, velvety mouthfeel. Vibrant aromas of papaya, cherry and grape lead to juicy notes of fig and cantaloupe.

Marumoto Brewing Company

The Marumoto Brewing Company, founded in 1867, is often known as the “Farmer’s Brewery” because the people who brew the sake also grow the rice. Their care for their craft is so deep that they grow their own 100% Yamadanishiki rice for their sake. The brewery’s location at the foot of Chikurin-ji Mountains provides sparkling clear mountain water and luscious land prime for rice and sake. Always the fan of innovation, Marumoto-san likes to try new things, including sparkling sake, so the brewery is bound to have a sake to suit your tastes.
