A variety of rice called Manzai is used at 70% polished rice. It is a carefully brewed, calm, fire-brewed sake.
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.
This is a bottle brewed with a special rice that has a strong connection with the local Okazaki area. We recommend pairing it with savory grilled meat dishes.
Muscat aroma wafting softly in the air. A grain-like aroma can also be detected from the back.
From the mouthfeel, which feels mellow and mild, a full-bodied flavor and a sweetness that extends as if enveloping the palate. The light acidity, slight bitterness, and grain-like nuances give it a complex impression. After swallowing, a sweet aftertaste lingers softly in the mouth, and then fades away nicely thanks to the sharpness created by the acidity.
