Senkou Aikoku.
This is an "Agricultural Revival Project" to revive "Aikoku No. 3," an ancient variety grown in Tochigi Prefecture during the Taisho Era (1912-1926), and use it to make traditional Japanese sake. As part of this project, SENKYO and Houou Mita collaborated with SENKYO, which is located in Tochigi Prefecture.
We are looking forward to seeing how much of the brewery's individuality will be expressed in this collaboration, which has in common the use of Aikoku, brewed in the "nama-hashime" style, and shipped by heating!
Today's sake is Sengoku's version. It is brewed according to the Edo style and shipped unfiltered and unfiltered.
It has a refreshing aroma of strawberries and apples, and in the mouth it has a fresh gasiness that you would not expect from a hi-iru sake, along with a sharp acidity.
The body is dry and tight with a wild and rough flavor that is unique to ancient rice, while a firm bitterness tightens the aftertaste.
The charm of ancient rice is expressed through the Sengoku character. We are now looking forward to the Houou Mita version!
