Kumi no Ura is a refined sake crafted using highly polished Gohyakumangoku, a premium sake rice variety grown in the Tango region, together with yeast specially selected for ginjo brewing. The careful brewing process creates a sake with a delicate, light character and a beautifully rounded flavor.
Kumano Brewery has been making sake since the Edo period (1603–1868). Located at the innermost shore of Kumihama Bay, the brewery enjoys a panoramic view of the bay. This setting inspired the name of its flagship sake, Kumi no Ura, meaning the bay of Kumi.
Although exceptionally light and clean on the palate, Kumi no Ura has a satisfying depth of flavor and a fragrant, fruity ginjo aroma. The brewery’s president says the aim is to make sake that helps people relax, feel at ease, and enjoy lively conversations together.
The lineup includes regular sake, junmai ginjo, junmai daiginjo, and special honjozo. It is available in both 1.8-liter bottles and 720-milliliter bottles.
