This brewery made a commitment to make premium sake despite agricultural hardships like those of WWII. Until this sake came along in the 1960's, all sake had distilled alcohol added to it due to rice shortages and war rationing. After the war, Chiyonosono crafted the first junmai sake (brewed without distilled alcohol nor additives of any kind) and celebrated by sharing it from a large, red lacquered sake cup called a Shuhai. Soft, aromas of orange blossom, straightforward. Try this sake with salty, savory foods. Green Mamba Maki or Yaki Udon.

By the Bottle
Wandering Poet, Junmai Ginjo
This Junmai Ginjo is made with Yamada Nishiki rice, known as the pinnacle of quality for sake rice. It is named after the famous Chinese poet, Li Po, who was said to drink a bottle of sake and write one hundred poems. Full-bodied, crisp, flavorful. Pairs well with poultry and green vegetables. Asparagus Maki and Hana Chicken Salad.
"Nanbu Bijin" means "Southern Beauty" and is a Japanese term that celebrates the beauty of women, interpreted as the brewery's vision to create a delicate sophistication in its sake. The local Ginginga rice used for this sake took over eight years to develop and perfect. White wine aromatics of pear, grass, and muscat grape. Medium-bodied with slight wood spice and floral aromas that move toward apple and lively citrus notes. Mild acidity allows the minerality to exert itself on the finish. Pairs well with tempura vegetables or raw oysters Gourmet Vegetable Tempura and Fresh Kumoto Oysters.

Sacred Power, Junmai Ginjo

Chiyonosono is among the very few breweries who have revived rice strains after being out of use. Shinriki literally means "Sacred Power" in Japanese and represents the bold, briny ocean flavors present in the sake. This is a rich, full flavored sake with fresh-cut green grass aromas and hints of tropical fruits. The mouth feel is silky with suggestions of briny and umami flavors. It finishes with excellent acidity. Pair with fresh oysters or calamari. Fresh Kumoto Oysters and Ika Batayaki.

Rhythm of the Centuries, Kimoto Junmai
Made using the 17th-century time and labor intensive 'kimoto' method and then aged four years in bottle resulting in rich, earthy, and wild aromas and flavors. This brewing method of mixing the yeast starter has been perfected by Toji Yokomichi-san, who knows how to maximize the method. The extensive bottle aging rounds out the edges of the sake's flavor and creates overall smoothness. Notes of pickled mushroom and soy caramel give way to elegant notes of chamomile, bergamot, and walnut. A great sake to try warmed as well as slightly chilled. Pair with ahi tuna, roasted vegetables, and beef. Ahi and Avocado Salad, Beef Soba.
Bottle$60.00
Divine Droplets, Junmai Daiginjo
Drip-pressed in an ice igloo, this ultra-luxurious Junmai Daiginjo is extremely rare. Drip-pressing, or "shizuku" is a rarity by itself, and this is the only sake in the world drip-pressed in an ice igloo. Inside, the temperature remains about 28Ëš F with 90% humidity. Bacteria cannot survive in these conditions, allowing the brewery to make the cleanest, most pure ultra-premium sake possible. Spice, minerality, and banana skin dominate the aroma profile. Lychee, melon, herbs, vanilla essence and concentrated mineral flavors keep the sake focused well into its long, clean, ethereal finish. Try it with caviar, crab, or slightly salty dishes. Ikura and Uni Nigiri, Kobe Maki and Soft Shell Crab Tempura.
