Kudoki Jozu Jr. Aiyama 33 – A Masterpiece by the 6th Generation Brewer, Toshinori Imai
Back by popular demand, the ultra-popular “Jr.” series returns with one of its finest expressions: Kudoki Jozu Jr. Aiyama 33, brewed by sixth-generation brewer Toshinori Imai.
This sake is crafted using super-premium grade “Banshu Aiyama” rice, of which only 8.3% of the harvest meets the top-tier standard. To achieve ultimate refinement, it has been luxuriously polished down to 33%, leaving only one-third of the original grain. Fermented slowly at low temperatures, the result is a sake of extraordinary finesse—like life itself, patiently shaped over time.
The flavor offers layered notes of maple syrup, banana, and a silky-smooth texture. The full-bodied character of Aiyama rice is beautifully expressed, with an intoxicating sweetness and deep richness that makes each sip irresistible.
🌟 A Philosophy of Endless Refinement
The secret behind the deliciousness of Kudoki Jozu lies in its daily experimentation and relentless pursuit of improvement. To enhance the aromatic profile typical of ginjo-style sake, Imai-san has performed countless trials—adjusting glucose levels, alcohol content, and degrees of polishing.
In a world where there is no single “right answer,” he continues to strive for new heights with every batch. This sake is not just a drink—it is a reflection of craftsmanship, curiosity, and dedication.
