Manufacturing
Making sake... with sake: The ruijo method
The ruijo method brings new potential
While many methods exist in brewing sake, one of the more unique is replacing some of the shikomi-sui brewing water with existing sake. Known as the ruijo method, this technique achieves a deep, condensed sweetness and umami. Amairo utilizes this method, and additionally even more sake during distillation, for its novel flavor profile.
Tartness and umami developed by natural yeast
No yeast is added to Amairo during brewing, preserving an organic brewing method that harnesses nature itself to produce its own yeast and bring richness and complexity to every bottle.
A novel brewing method for unrivaled richness
At the end of the fermentation process, an amount of already brewed Amairo is added to each batch, fortifying the sake for additional richness. Using this method - similar to that of port wine - places Amairo in a novel category all its own: Dessert sake.
