Amanoto Junmai Daiginjō 45

Amanoto Junmai Daiginjō 45 (天の戸 純米大吟醸45) is made of rice grown in the Yokote Plain around the brewery. Asamai brewed this sake with a unique concept, resulting in a satisfying taste and a crisp finish. It is a Ginjō sake with excellent value for money.

Asamai Brewery, founded in 1917, is located in the middle of the Yokote Basin in southern Akita Prefecture, an environment blessed with sake brewing since ancient times due to its abundant spring water and high-quality rice. Since 2011, all alcoholic beverages have been pure rice sake.

The sake brand Amanoto (天の戸) was created by the founder Kakizaki Munemitsu (柿崎宗光). The name was taken from an old poem that goes, "The door of heaven opens quietly, and the green leaves of the cedars of Kamijiyama are filled with shadows." (天の戸は静かに明けて神路山 杉の青葉に日影さすみゆ)

Asamai Shuzō is in the middle of the Yokote Basin in the southeastern part of Akita Prefecture. Within the Yokote Basin, surrounded by mountains, are the Senboku Plain and the Hiraka Plain. Due to the nature of the land, where there are differences in temperature in the morning and evening throughout the four seasons, the land is suitable for rice cultivation and boasts a high production volume. The Minase and Naruse rivers from the Ōu Mountains create fertile fields in the Yokote Basin and water the rice fields where sake rice is grown. A part of the river becomes underground water, creating a group of springs near the storehouse. Biwanuma Kansen (琵琶沼寒泉), the water used to prepare Tennoto, is one of these water springs.
