Kyoto Iwai rice, unfiltered richness and a long, fine line.
White, the KAGURA flagship
White is made entirely from Kyoto-grown Iwai rice, polished to 35%. It is unfiltered and undiluted, then pasteurised once and stored at ice temperature. The result joins an aromatic profile with the quiet weight of genshu.
How it tastes
Mango, apricot, white grape and muscat are layered with a soft lactic note. A smooth, concentrated mouthfeel balances sweetness, acidity, bitterness and a subtle earthy edge, finishing long and fine.
The sweetness, acidity and bitterness stay in balance, with the earthy edge settling into a long, fine finish.
Kyoto, a brewery restored in its historic centre
Matsui Shuzo was founded in 1726. Brewing resumed in central Kyoto in 2009, using water from the Senshin-i well. KAGURA brings together Kyoto-grown Iwai rice, small-scale brewing and a clear, rice-led style.
