This is "Honshu Ichi" Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake from Umeda Shuzo Brewery located in Funakoshi, Aki-ku, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The brewery produces only 200 koku of sake per year, and the rice, yeast, and water used to make the sake are all locally grown. Senbon-Nishiki, the rice used for Honshu Ichi, is a unique Hiroshima sake rice that has been improved to suit the local climate (in 2000, it became a prefectural government-recommended variety), with the advantages of its parent Yamada-Nishiki, but with shorter length and earlier ripening. Honshu Ichiban has won many awards at "Kura Master" and "IWC" and is a representative brand that is highly regarded in Europe as well.
It has a clear golden color and a gorgeous green apple-like aroma that spreads from the moment it is poured. The balance between a full-bodied flavor with just the right amount of thickness and a modest natural sweetness. Sharp acidity appears along with contrasting tingling nuances. This is a bottle with a fruity, rounded and full-bodied taste, but with a clear and crisp finish.
