Hagi Nishiki, monotype.
IMADEYA's hanpukai GUITO! for July is a monotype from Shizuoka Prefecture's Haginishiki Sake Brewery. The name "monotype" refers to a printing technique in which a picture is drawn directly on a printing plate and then transferred onto a piece of paper. The labels are drawn by the brewer himself.
The sake is brewed using a new Shizuoka sake rice called "2038 Fuji" and a new sake rice called "Nama-Hojo Fuji".
It has a mild aroma with a lactic acidity and a soft touch due to the soft water used for brewing. It has a refreshing sweetness and a mild umami flavor, and it has a crisp, clean finish with a refreshing acidity.
