Suitama special junmai sake, unfiltered and unpasteurized.
This is the first time we have had Suitama brewed by Ryoseki Shuzo in Akita Prefecture. Ryoseki Shuzo is known for its popular Hanayu, but while Hanayu focuses on a single rice variety, Suitama is brewed with a wider range of rice from Akita Prefecture.
It has a mild heady aroma reminiscent of bananas and peaches, and in the mouth, perhaps because it is unfiltered, it has a rich fruity sweetness and umami that is highly viscous. The moderate acidity, however, gives it a refreshing aftertaste. As the name suggests, it is a bottle filled with a moist, emerald-like flavor!
