How it tastes
Use the sensory profile below as a concise guide to aroma, sweetness, acidity, umami and finish. It is a product-reference estimate, not a laboratory measurement.
TAMAGAWA · Kinoshita Brewery · Kyoto
Kinoshita Brewery was founded in 1842 in Kumihama, Kyotango, Kyoto. The name TAMAGAWA comes from the Kawakamidani River that flows near the brewery.
Toji Philip Harper earned his Nanbu Toji certification in 2001 and joined Kinoshita Brewery in 2007. Working with traditional methods such as yamahai, no added yeast and aged styles, he values how the sake’s expression changes with temperature and time.

A sake for the table that changes with temperature
The brewery does not publish official food pairings. This honjozo keeps the rice character of a 70% polish while being built to change character with temperature, from chilled through to warmed. What follows are four directions read from that confirmed temperature range and the brewery’s own description of a balance built around umami with a bold, robust profile.
Reflecting a design built to serve from chilled through to warmed in a single bottle, we have drawn one dish suited to each temperature range from Thai, Japanese and Western cuisine into every direction.
