mana
Soft and gentle, like cherry blossoms dancing in the spring breeze.
The aroma is gentle and elegant. The delicate aroma derived from yeast rises softly from the glass, with nuances of white peach and melon. In the mouth, the mild sweetness and clear flavor spread gradually, and the acidity is gentle and very smooth. The elegant lingering aftertaste fades away as if fading away.
This bottle is a re-launch of the "age-engraving" series that began with "28-year-old Spring". Hiroaki Sakemukai, former toji, has returned to sake brewing as a technical advisor, and together with Hiroei Watanabe, the current master brewer, he brewed this special spring sake with the theme of "49 years old," a milestone for the brewery.
The label features the words "49 years old, cherry blossoms" written by the calligrapher Izumi Endo, who has graced the spring series to date. The calligraphy, which has both supple curves and strength, seems to reflect the "quiet determination" of this sake.
The 48% polished Yamada-Nishiki produced in Honzu City, Gifu Prefecture, which is cultivated with low amounts of pesticides, and three types of yeast are used to create a soft but core flavor. It has a refined aroma and a flavor that seeps into the mouth, and quietly conveys the joy of "welcoming another spring".
