From the back label. Shin-shu (new sake) is the first to convey the vintage of the rice harvested that year. As "Hatsu Shibori" nouveau, you can enjoy the freshness of new sake, sweetness that increases as the sake temperature rises, aromas of young white grapes and lychee, and especially the touch of koji that is unique to new sake, according to the label.
It is a seasonal sake, and I was looking forward to this one. We opened the bottle just before the consecutive holidays. Made from 100% Gohyakumangoku rice, 55% polished rice ratio, alcohol content between 16 and 17 degrees Celsius.
It has a freshness like muscat, but at the same time it is mellow and gorgeous, as is typical of Hououmida. The lees that accumulate slightly at the bottom of the bottle make it enjoyable to drink.
