酒呑ノ鳥居
Junmai Daiginjo sake brewed by Shuho Shuzo in Yamagata Prefecture, a straightforward expression of good old-fashioned sake. 47% 🌾 (100% Snow Goddess from Yamagata Prefecture) K1801 & NF-KA yeast (Yamagata yeast) A very pleasant sake with a good aroma of ethyl caproate and a decent marriage of rice and fruit aromas. As soon as it touches the tongue, you feel a chirpy, slightly bubbly sensation and a green, natural rice top note. At a time when uselessly beautiful junmai daiginjo-shu are gaining citizenship, this sake may be defiant in a sense, asserting its rice character, for better or for worse. The phrase "Dry +5" on the back of the product name does not lie, and it has a very crisp finish with little sweetness. It is a sake that lets you enjoy the goodness of the rice without any unpleasantness.
