Honkin Shinshu Souze Tank 2025, reduced pesticide cultivated rice Yumeshinano Junmai Ginjo Hi-iru Sake.
The Shinshu Kouetsu Tank 2025 presented by Honkin, winner of the grand prize of the 2023 Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, is made from Yumeshinano, an edible rice born in Nagano Prefecture, and is said to be a sustainable rice grown using compost from cows raised on sake lees.
We previously had a draft sake, but this time it is a fire-aged version.
It has a muscat-like aroma with a hint of mint.
In the mouth, it has a freshness with a hint of chili even after being hi-ire.
The mouthfeel is soft, with a deep flavor, and the lingering finish is colored by a good amount of bitterness.
It is fresh, yet well balanced, and even more delicious than the raw version!
