A junmai sake brewed and bottled in the year 2000, then left to age in the dark for 21 years! The original sake was made with Dewasansan rice polished to 70%, and using the “fourth-stage mashing” (yodan-jikomi) technique, which involves adding an extra fourth batch of rice to the main mash during the brewing process. This specific batch included a fermentation starter created with ambient lactic acid bacilli (following the kimoto, or kimotozukuri, method). The "fourth-stage mashing" technique was used to create a sweeter sake, to which the ageing period added more complex tasting notes.
