Afuri Mizumoto | 雨降 水酛仕込・愛山

The Resurrection of a Legend – Afuri Mizumoto Junmai.

A groundbreaking collaboration between the world-renowned ramen masters at AFURI and the artisanal Kikkawa Shuzo, the Afuri Mizumoto is a tribute to Japan’s brewing roots. By utilizing the Mizumoto method—an ancient technique predating the Kimoto method—the brewers achieve a profile that is bold, lactic, and incredibly refreshing.

This is a "modern-primitive" sake designed specifically to complement rich, umami-driven cuisine, making it the ultimate companion for gourmet dining.

Tasting Notes & Profile:

The Mizumoto Soul: Expect a distinctive, vibrant acidity and a rich lactic complexity that is characteristic of this natural lactic-acid fermentation process.

Palate: Full-bodied yet crisp. It strikes a masterful balance between deep umami and a sharp, clean tang that cuts through rich flavors beautifully.

The Finish: Energetic and lingering, with a refreshing tartness that cleanses the palate for the next bite.
