One of the recommended products for August that I bought at Yamauchiya is "Midsummer Fruits," even though summer is already over.
This is a new sake brewed in summer. The toji (master brewer) is pictured here wearing an aloha as proof of this! He must be a fan of Southern music, considering the name of the sake.
There is no shortage of stories about this bottle, including the Aloha method tag, the use of a never-before-heard-of high-yield Akihikari variety, and the use of yeast derived from Princess Michiko, a rose associated with the Empress Kamihito.
Kamishin Shuzo is a brewery located in Yorishima, Okayama Prefecture, a port town overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. As you can see, it is full of fruitiness, and it is the type of sake that you can easily enjoy. Since it is a draft sake, it was of course served cold, but I got the impression that its sweetness and flavor were enhanced when it was a little cooler than when it was freshly refrigerated.
