Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki from Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture.
Yamae-Nishiki was selected by the Nagano Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station with the aim of producing an original sake brewing rice comparable to Yamada-Nishiki, based on analysis of koji cultivated by focusing not on the appearance of the rice, such as the percentage of heart white, but on the koji making process.
It has a gentle aroma of muscat-like aroma. In the mouth, although it is fire-brewed, it has a very fresh impression with a hint of chili. The sweetness reminds one of white peaches, while the beautiful acidity and refreshing bitterness add to the impression of the aftertaste.
This is quintessential Shinshu Kamerei, and we enjoyed it very much!
