Prefecture: Fukushima , Japan
Junmai Daiginjo
free run, undiluted.
Rice Polishing Ratio: 50%
Rice: Yamada Nishiki
This is a gorgeous sake with notes of Rose and herbs. Light body. Generous sweetness and cotton candy honey. Lemon, lime character, medium finish.
From the Producer: On one freezing day in February, we produced Shoka, one of our kimoto junmai daiginjo sakes, by using the shizuku or “natural drip” method. Our master brewer Takanobu Sato and his deputy by hand filled bags with the fermented mash of sake ingredients and then let the sake filter out naturally under its own weight, leaving the rice solids in the bags. Sake collected in this way, without applying pressure, tends to posses outstanding clarity and depth of flavor, without any discordant note to upset the harmonious balance. Daishichi kimoto junmai daiginjo Shoka is made of the top-grade sake rice Yamada Nishiki. Shoka pairs well with a wide variety of food featuring mild umami, such as steamed crabs. Shoka has been chosen as the best sake to pair with the French cuisine at a Japan-wide contest.
