Description
AFS, the limited, young and unpasteurized version of the 30-year aged sake AFS, is made using the ‘hot yamahai’ method used only by the Kidoizumi brewery. The result is an intense blend of incredibly high sweetness and acidity, merging into a sour apple/citrus-like aroma. A truly unique and refreshing aperitif. Drink cold.
Brewery
Kidoizumi Shuzō - founded in 1879 - is the only brewery in Japan to use the hot yamahai method. Yamahai is supposed to be suitable only for cold places, but the brewery has developed a method in which large quantities of lactobactyl grown on site are added to a starter kept at very high temperature. The result is a unique full-bodied flavor. The brewery is also a pioneer in producing aged sake (koshu). Having started aging a large amount of sake some sixty years ago, it is one of the few breweries with extensive experience in aging sake.
