We visited the Shiraito Sake Brewery in Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture, but were unable to tour the brewery as it was right in the middle of the brewing season. I bought the Shiraito series, which is only available online and locally, in a red and white set for the New Year. Red = Junmai Ginjo (Polishing ratio 55%). White = Junmai Daiginjo (Polishing ratio 35%) Both are 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima. I opened both at a family gathering so I could enjoy the difference in taste produced by the rice polishing ratio!
Smell is clean. Slightly floral scent. The color is clear. Quite sweet. Tastes and smells like strawberries. It cuts well. It is a rare taste. The acidity is not that strong. Bitterness is not too strong. Although the rice polishing ratio is 70, it has a gorgeous aroma like a ginjo sake and a fruity taste. It is wonderful.
