Izumibashi Tonbo Green Sake

Special features: The Izumibashi Tonbo Green Sake is a Junmai sake made from a blend of rice varieties such as Yamada-Nishiki, Omachi, and Rakufumai, all cultivated by the brewery itself. This sake matures for about a year in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures and presents a balanced profile with mild sweetness, bright acidity, and pronounced umami flavor. The green dragonfly on the label symbolizes the brewery's commitment to environmental protection and sustainable rice production.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Gentle aromas of green tea and delicate steamed rice, accompanied by herbal and fresh grass notes.
• Palate: Soft and pure with sweet rice notes, mild citrus fruits, and an umami flavor that deepens in the mouth.
• Finish: Light and lingering, with a hint of minerality and balanced acidity.

Distillery/Bottler: The Izumibashi Sake Brewery was founded in 1857 during the Edo period in Ebina City, Kanagawa. As one of the few sake breweries, Izumibashi grows most of the rice used, allowing complete control over quality from field to bottle. The brewery exclusively produces Junmai sake and often employs traditional brewing methods, including the Kimoto method, to highlight depth and umami in their sakes. The water source, which comes from underground streams of Mt. Tanzawa, imparts mineral richness to their products. The brewery's philosophy is based on the belief that "sake begins with rice," and it works with local farmers and field cultivation to preserve the rice heritage, the environment, and traditional sake-making techniques.
