Luscious, fresh-tasting sake, specially brewed in southeast Fukushima.
Taking their sake expertise further south to Tatsumi, away from their north-western hub in Aizu, Fukushima, Homare Shuzo unlocks the fruity, umami potential of Niigata's Gohyakumangoku sake rice through this freshly-bottled junmai ginjo sake. By milling the premium rice grain to 50% and allowing it to carefully mature at low temperatures, previously subtle notes of melon and strawberries can then flourish within this sake's full-bodied palate. Once fully brewed, this junmai ginjo is immediately bottled and pasteurised to preserve its high acidity and dry, pleasantly tart finish, stored at a steady -5℃ to achieve the impeccably smooth, freshness Homare Shuzo's sake have become renowned for. Best enjoyed chilled from a wine glass with your pick of sashimi, sushi or any fresh-tasting seafood.
