All Kyoto-produced Ingredients
Smooth and graceful Junmai Ginjo
Matsuyama Shuzo, a brewery located on the banks of the Hori River in Fushimi, Kyoto Prefecture, has a 100-year history of brewing sake, and the "Jyuseki" is the new story of the rebirth of this 100-year-old brewery.
This is the first Junmai Ginjo-shu under the Jyuseki brand. The rice used for this sake is "Shuku," a sake rice born and raised in Kyoto. It is also brewed with all Kyoto ingredients, including bean sprouts from Kyoto's Hishiroku bean sprouts, Kyoto yeast developed in Kyoto Prefecture, and water from Fushimi, known as a famous water source.
The simple dark blue label features a design of a ten-stone boat, which is the origin of the brand name. The aroma is gentle, with a soft green apple and pear-like sweetness. The mouthfeel is smooth. The light sweetness and umami combine with the bitter complexity of the rice to form depth. The acidity seeps out from there and mixes beautifully to form a single mass. When swallowed, the light, refreshing sweetness of apple lingers in the mouth.
