Product Details

The most important characteristic of the “True Mirror” Sake, is the original development of the yeast. The fourth director of the Nakao Sake Brewery, Nakao Kiyomaro, recognized that “yeast is the most important element in determining the taste of sake,” and from a young age he made a study of yeast. Together with Sakaguchi Kinichiro, a famous Professor of Fermentation Science at the forerunner of Tokyo University, he collected more than 2,000 types of yeast from all over Japan. One by one, he carefully experimented with these yeasts and as a result, in 1940, he came across a type of yeast that could produce an excellent bouquet and fresh taste. Indeed, with a fruit-like, refined aroma, mild, fresh sourness, and powerful fermentation capabilities, he had discovered the perfect yeast. Because it later became possible to extract this yeast from the rind of apples, it was named “apple yeast.”
