Gokyo Kimoto Junmai Ginjo Kiokezukuri Akiagari "5 Orange"

[1cs arriving mid-December]

The Gokyo 5 series are expressions of sake brewed in kioke: that is, traditional
large wooden barrels of 1-5000 L capacity, made from sugi (cryptomeria) wood. 
Utilized for >100 years in some cases, kioke don’t usually confer wood flavors (as 
in oak barrels), but do add unique character by hosting a unique microbial
 population in the pores of the wood & supplying oxygen during the fermentation. 
By preparing Blue with the ~350 year old kimoto method which utilizes wild 
bacteria to create acidity, Gokyo’s kioke evolve, and in turn, the “5” series as well.
