SAKE

Established in 1917. Amanoto’s brewery is located in Akita in the snowy, northern part of Japan and they are the smallest of Akita’s 47 breweries.

The name ‘Amanoto’ was inspired by an old poem based on a Japanese myth. ‘Amanoto’ means ‘Heavens Door’ which is symbolised by the Magatama, a stone used for a necklace in the myth, pictured on the label.

This sake is very dry. It has a hint of yeast and a nice floral character on the nose with complexity.
