Tamagawa Time Machine was brewed by a recipe from 1712. The local rice is almost not polished at all, fermentation is started spontaneously in the labor intense kimoto style. The thick texture matches the elegant sweetnes in the beginning, a layered finish with balanced acidity and dry notes completes the time mashine kimoto. Everything is accentuated with a distinct, yet subtle umami. Because of its versatile flavour profile, this sake paires well with numerous dishes, such as foie gras or vanilla ice cream.
