Brewed by Iinuma Honke (飯沼本家) in Chiba Prefecture, Kinoene Lodestar (甲子 LODESTAR 純米吟釀 生酒) is an unpasteurised (Nama) Junmai Ginjo that embodies the brewery’s creative spirit and youthful energy.
The name “Lodestar” — meaning guiding star — represents sake that shines brightly with direction and purpose.

This fresh seasonal release bursts with lively aromas of green apple, white peach, and citrus zest, balanced by crisp acidity and gentle sweetness. As a Nama (unpasteurised) sake, it retains vibrant freshness and a slight effervescence, offering an invigorating and juicy drinking experience — perfect for warm days or casual celebrations.
