Daishinshu - Yaebaru area
Rating 4.4
Original rice used: 100% Kanamon-Nishiki, contract grown in Nagano, 16% alcohol by volume.
The Yaehara district is characterized by its volcanic clay soil. Rice grown in this soil has a firm "grainy" flavor, as if one is eating "delicious rice" in one's mouth, giving it a unique appeal. The depth of the clayey soil is made lighter and more refined, thanks in part to the effects of the special drop-removal process.
Basically, it is light and refreshing. The profile is quite mellow. A dry, lingering food wine.
