— Heavenly Colours Poured —
AMAIRO reimagines sake as a velvet-rich digestif. Instead of water, fresh Junmai Daiginjo is added twice during fermentation—a “sake-on-sake” technique that amplifies natural sugars, lively acidity, and deep umami. Only wild ambient yeast is employed, producing layered aromas of apricot jam, honeyed fig, candied yuzu, and a whisper of cedar. The texture is supple yet weightless; gentle bitterness and minerality keep the long finish poised, never cloying.
Bottling takes place at the century-old Miyoshino Jōzō in Nara’s cedar forests, where granite-filtered spring water and humid mountain air nurture famously expressive brews. AMAIRO earned Silver Medals at the International Wine Challenge in both 2024 and 2025, affirming that this small-batch wonder unites audacious technique with time-honed skill.
“Amairo” means “heaven-tinted,” evoking the pastel dawn sky the brewers witness each morning—an omen of the colourful richness captured in every drop.
