Emperor’s Well Kiminoi Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Sake: Umami-Rich, Savory, and Elegantly Tradition-Bound
Emperor’s Well “Kiminoi” is a Yamahai-style Junmai Ginjo sake crafted by Kiminoi Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Brewed using the traditional Yamahai starter method, this sake develops complex umami, depth, and a refined acid structure. Made from local Gohyaku‑Mangoku (and Koshi Tanrei) rice polished to around 55–58%, it is bottled at approximately 15.5 % ABV with a sake meter value around 0 and acidity around 1.4–1.6.
On the nose, it presents aromas of cereal grains, cremini mushrooms, banana bread, roasted rice, caramel, nougat, and rice pudding—rich yet elegant. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth with savory umami, gentle acidity, and layered flavors of rice cake, sweet bread, and warmed nuts. The finish is clean, off‑dry, and notably balanced.
Emperor’s Well “Kiminoi” pairs impeccably with richer Asian dishes: miso‑marinated cod, grilled eel (unagi), yakitori, teriyaki chicken, tempura, mushroom risotto, or fried calamari. Its umami-focused profile elevates savory flavors while maintaining balance.
Whether you're savoring grilled seafood in Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi or hosting a Japanese-inspired dinner by Dubai Marina, Emperor’s Well “Kiminoi” brings traditional Yamahai craftsmanship, savory depth, and refined elegance to every moment.
