Annual Japan Sake Awards 2023 Gold Medal

令和5年醸造年度全国新酒鑑評会 金賞受賞酒

This sake is the product of Imanishi Shuzo's efforts to challenge themselves to create an award-winning sake following their brewing philosophy - "Junmai x No. 9 yeast x Nara Prefectural rice".

For 5 consecutive years, their Daiginjo had been evaluated to receive the Gold Award.  However, team Imanishi challenged themselves in 2020,  on submitting a non-aruten "Junmai Daiginjo" and through sheer determination & effort honing their brewing techniques, they were finally awarded the coveted gold medal!

With an allocation of just 24 bottles, and limited to 3 per customer, this is an opportunity, to celebrate the success with Team Imanishi!

【蔵元のコメント・裏ラベルより】 お蔭様で令和5年度全国新酒鑑評会·金賞を受賞しました。「純米酒×9号酵母×奈良県産米」での挑戦。全国新酒鑑評会では5年連続金賞受賞していたものの、3年前に「みむろ杉らしい酒造り」で金賞受賞を目指す!と「アルコール添加×香り系酵母」と決別し、舵を切りました。 出品酒だから特別に釀造するのではなく、あくまで日常のままに、我々の釀造哲学の延長上に受賞があれば良い。そんな想いで出品酒に向き合いました。しかし、想像以上に険しい道のりで、初年度は箸にも棒にも掛からず。F1レースに普通自動車で挑むような感覚でした。 それから3年。精神を研ぎ澄ましながら技術力を磨き上げ、ようやく頂けた金賞受賞。非常に感慨深いものがあります。我々の魂·情熱を五感で感じて頂ければ幸いでございます。 十四代目蔵主 今西将之

Imanishi Shuzo 今西酒造

A unique historical style of Sake which is carried on by Imanishi brewery is the Bodaimoto brewing method, once written about in detail in Japan’s first record of sake brewing, the Mishu No Nikki and native to the Nara region. This brew is made through a traditional method of lactic acid propagation and only with locally cultivated Hitomebore rice, fermented in traditional style barrels made with Yoshino Cedar from Mount Miwa. The Bodaimoto is a dedication to nature, within each bottle exists the commitment to nature and the abundance which it provides with little human technological intervention.
