Muri Koji Rice Series 1
Koji Rice Series 1 is Muri at its most adventurous. It is built on koji, the ancient fermentation culture behind sake, miso, and soy sauce, and the source of that deep, savoury quality the Japanese call umami. Here it becomes an alcohol-free still white: silky, gently savoury, and complex, left unfiltered for a fuller, softly textured body.
Tasting Notes
Fermented koji rice gives the drink its heart: a soft, savoury richness, closer to miso than to fruit, that fills the mouth and lingers. The body is silky and luxurious, medium-dry rather than sweet, with warm, soothing undertones. Smoked lavender adds a delicate floral smokiness, while mahleb, a fragrant cherry-stone spice, lends an almond-and-cherry warmth to the finish. Unusual, layered, and hard to stop drinking.
Pairs well with
The umami richness makes it a natural partner for sushi and sashimi, and it has the depth to stand beside a fragrant thai curry. Equally at home with creamy, sweet dishes, cheesecake or a rice pudding, where its warm spice comes forward. Serve it chilled, and give it a moment in the glass to open up.
