The taste of harvest delivered by Usagi
The deep flavor of special rice
From Nitoshi, a famous sake brewed in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, comes "Junmai Manzai 70" made with special rice. This sake is made from a variety of rice called Manzai, polished to 70%. It is a carefully brewed sake with a calm, hi-ire style.
Manzai is a historic variety that was dedicated at the time of the Taisho era (1912-1926) to the "Otamesai," a ceremony held on the occasion of the Emperor's enthronement to pray for a good harvest and the peace of the country. At the time, the Okazaki area was selected as a field to cultivate Manzai for the dedication at the Omame Festival, and thus this sake rice has a strong connection with the Okazaki area. Its cultivation had ceased at one point, but has been restored after 100 years by volunteer farmers in Okazaki. Although it is a rice, it is considered to have excellent sake brewing qualities and is as good as Omachi.
It was a delicious sake and food.
Thank you very much 😊.
