Shizenshu Shibori Nama

しぜんしゅ しぼり生

Toyo Nishiki rice is milled down to 80%, and grown locally without the use of any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The traditional Kimoto method was incorporated and fermented with natural yeast. The Shizenshu sakes focus on the four-stage mashing process (normally a three-stage process) which gives more depth and rice umami to the resulting sake. This is from the Nakagumi (middle or heart during pressing) of the Junmai Genshu.

Aromas of yellow peach, mochi, and yogurt on the nose.  A little spritzy on open, plush and surprisingly elegant (for having an 80% mill rate) on the palate, the bright acidity balances the gentle sweetness, good fruit and fresh rice umami core, finishing dry. A very refined, low-milled Kimoto sake!

Store and serve chilled, will be slightly effervescent on open.
