A full bodied sweet sake from the traditional brewery Okamura Honke. Made with lightly polished rice, it shows pronounced rice character, deeper colour, and broad texture. Sweetness is balanced by notable acidity, giving the sake structure and freshness.

This unpasteurized and undiluted expression of Kinkame 80 stands apart for its combination of richness, rice intensity, and balance. It can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed.

**This case contains 11 bottles**

About Okamura Honke:
Founded in 1854 in Shiga Prefecture, Okamura Honke is a family run brewery located in Toyosato, an area known for quality rice cultivation and soft groundwater from the Suzuka Mountains.

The brewery works primarily with local rice varieties including Tamaei, Yamada Nishiki, and Ginfubuki. Production remains highly traditional, including hand washing of rice, small scale kōji making, and multi stage fermentation. Some cuvées are pressed using the labour intensive fukuro shibori method to preserve texture and aromatic detail.
