NEW ENGI Yamadanishiki ⑦ Junmai-shu, unfiltered and fired.
This is the first NEW ENGI brewed by Tamamura Honten, whose Shiga Kogen Beer is also popular. This ethical sake is not only pesticide-free, but also uses a minimal amount of malt lees from the beer brewing process as organic fertilizer.
It has a grape-like heady aroma and a full flavor that spreads and finishes with bitterness and astringency. The beautiful quality of this sake, which is hard to believe that it is a low-polished sake, can only be achieved with organic rice. We enjoyed it cold, but we think it could also be served warm. It has a delicious flavor that could also be enjoyed warmed.
