Terada Honke ‘Katori 90’ Sake
€24,00
Op voorraad
Heerlijke sake en persoonlijke allround favoriet. Diepe, umami-rijke rijst-smaak maar drinkbaar als water. Slechts 15% alcohol, op alle temperaturen te drinken (maar gekoeld heel lekker!).
- Pre-modern sake as it was made a few centuries ago. True ‘liquid rice’ in taste, colour and aroma. All ingredients and elements are pre-modern: natural rice, natural yeast, slow-brew kimoto, unfiltered. The ‘90’ in the name is the polishing percentage and indicates that the rice was also polished in a pre-modern way, merely 10%. Drink at all temperatures.
- The Terada Honke brewery was founded around 1675 and they have recently returned to a very traditional method of brewing. Easiest the most radical brewery of Japan: all modern machinery has been done away with and natural, organic and handwork are the new keywords.
- Accordingly Terada Honke is one of the very few breweries that does not use any cultivated yeast, relying solely on the natural yeast culture of their brewery. The entire production is fermented in the slow-brew kimoto method where no lactic acid is added to the starter (moto). The rice used is organic.
