Koshi no Kanbai Muku

Muku, meaning Innocence, is the junmai expression within the celebrated Koshi no Kanbai lineup from Ishimoto Shuzo. Clean and understated, it shows gentle rice sweetness and a balanced dry finish. Made from Gohyakumangoku polished to 55%, it reaches 15.5% ABV with a sake meter value of +3 and a moderate acidity of 1.3. Its flavor draws on fruit, dryness, and floral notes. The sake illustrates the Niigata ideal of tanrei karakuchi — not austere dryness but a transparent purity — associated with the brand since it helped define the regional-sake style.

This is the sake that crystallizes what tanrei karakuchi means at its finest — not austere dryness, but transparent purity that reveals rather than conceals.
