A time machine to sake’s beginning

“Bodaimoto” is said to be the original fermentation starter for sake, first cultivated at Shoryakuji Temple in Nara. This method was revived by brewers in Nara in 1999 and is now used at select breweries. To impart the experience of drinking sake during its first discovery, they don’t manipulate the fermentation temperature as much. The trip back in time tastes of sweet umami layered with tangerine citrus, bright and juicy.

Savory snacks are a classic pairing with muroka (unfiltered) sake. For sake ware, we recommend simple designs that present the pure quality of sake.
