"The Maekake family, who run the Kamoizumi brewery, started out as rice farmers who became landlords and then moved into ""value added"" areas such as rice milling and eventually sake brewing at the onset of the modern era in 1910. A full bodied, earthy style of sake, with notes of mushrooms, an almost sherried note and some forest floor character. Fantastic served warm, and best with duck and mushroom based dishes.
