- Mukai Shuzo is a small sake brewery in the town of Ine in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Kuniko Mukai took over as head brewer at this brewery which dates back to 1754 at the age of just 22 after studying brewing at Tokyo's Nodai University of Agriculture. Encouraged by her professor she set about making a very unique sake from a rare local red rice strain that is grown around Ine - and this is the sake that became known as Ine Mankai (which translates to 'Ine in Full Bloom'). This is an exceptionally well-balanced sake with aromas of cherry and vanilla and flavours of sweet/tart cherry and pomegranate. Amazing small batch sake! Serve chilled.
