Unpasteurized sake, when kept under standard refrigeration, continues to ferment, gradually compromising its freshness. To address this, “sake Q TYPE F” preserves freshly pressed namazake in KEG DRAFT barrels, where vacuum-controlled conditions and cold storage inhibit further fermentation and maintain peak freshness. As part of the evolving “sake Q” series, it is bottled from the KEG DRAFT just once a month. The brewery’s dedication to handcraftsmanship and its philosophy of sake-making are conveyed through a video accessible via QR code. By withholding technical specifications, they invite the drinker to set aside preconceptions and experience the sake purely through the senses—discovering its excellence firsthand.

This sake is brewed using the Kimoto method-one of Japan’s most traditional and laborintensive brewing techniques-and aged for seven years in a specialized temperature aging room. Since no charcoal filtration is used, the original flavor and umami of the Kimoto Junmai are beautifully preserved. Elegant umami, soft acidity, and a mellow character result from slow, low-temperature maturation in Himurogura. When chilled, it reveals exquisite aromas of white peach and yellow apple; at room temperature, notes of cantaloupe, banana bread, and floral tones emerge.
