The name of this sake, "Zenchidori" (Utou), is taken from a precious bird that represents Aomori City. It is a supreme daiginjo that is offered once a year by the "Tasake" brewery, and its quality and taste are exceptional because it is brewed only with the "heart white" portion of the best sake rice, Yamadanishiki, polished down to 40%.
No artificial force is used in the pressing process, and only the best part, the "Nakadori" by the sake bag, is lavishly bottled.
The taste is dry yet rich, with a refined ginjo aroma reminiscent of peaches and melons, and a deep lingering aftertaste that further enhances the name "Tasake" and is considered the rarest daiginjo sake in the Nishida brewery.
