The Kimoto brewing method is one of the oldest methods that does not involve machines. There are only about thirty breweries in Japan that really respect this manual method. Mr.. Umetsu, master brewer, offers us here a sake with a strong character, brewed according to the purest tradition. Much more than a sake, Yama represents a philosophy. Umetsu san, master brewer, prefers manual work and natural yeasts. “Man wants to control nature. In making the sake, I am only his servant”. This symbiosis reaches its peak during the fermentation process: the vessels are processed twice as long as necessary. Traditional sake has a soul that must be respected. In this brewery, the cycle of the seasons is respected. The sakes, which are only brewed in winter, provide the unique character and taste.

Optimally drunk heated (55°C) and good base for cocktails
