Sake Brewer / Watanabe Shuzo Sake rice / Hidahomare Polishing ratio / 55% Alcohol content / 15.5% Sake meter / +3 Acidity / 1.4 It is a Junmai Ginjo with a noble and honest taste without seeking for showiness. Watanabe Shuzo, the brewer of "Horai" which has won many awards such as the Grand Prix in 5 consecutive national sake competitions, is very particular about the raw materials and brewing techniques, and has created a Junmai Ginjo sake "Ieden Tezukuri Junmai Ginjo" which conveys the flavor of the rice. The rice used is Hidahomare, a rice suitable for sake brewing produced in Gifu Prefecture, refined to 55% and made in small quantities for ginjo-zukuri. It has a soft and smooth mouthfeel, with a gentle fruity aroma that spreads gently, and a deep, rich flavor along with the umami and sweetness of the rice. The yeast used to brew the sake is a low-temperature, long-term type of yeast for ginjo-shu, which has low acidity. This is the brewer's pride and joy, and can be enjoyed from cold to warmed sake. 3.0/5.0
