This is a sake built for the dinner table. Kurumazaka Junmai goes for the deep umami you'd expect from a matured sake, then finishes clean. It comes from Yoshimura Hideo Shoten, founded in 1915 in Iwade in Wakayama Prefecture, and the brewery named the Kurumazaka line as a homage to the pilgrimage road that runs past its door. Toji (master brewer) Akiko Fujita works with Tamasakae rice that the brewery grows itself or buys from contract farmers, polished to 65%, and brews with medium-soft water from the Kinokawa River. It's a pure Junmai, so no brewer's alcohol is added, and each batch comes from a single harvest. That's a nice bit of specificity for a sake meant to go with everyday meals. The brewery suggests aemono (dressed side dishes) and nimono (simmered dishes), the kind of home cooking where a savory, dry sake does its best work.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Spinach goma-ae and other sesame-dressed vegetables; simmered dishes like nikujaga, kabocha nimono or braised daikon; oden; chicken yakitori with salt.

Tasting Profile

Expect the savoury, rice-driven profile of a well-made dry Junmai: steamed rice, light nutty and earthy tones, and a deep umami that comes across as gently matured. The texture is typically soft and delicate rather than heavy, with modest acidity, and the finish is dry and clean, so it stays fresh through a long meal.
