The aroma is deep and rich, with a fruity fragrance that gently blossoms.
We are pleased to introduce our first Shibori Junmai Ginjo-shu, made from Fukushima Prefecture's Gohyakumangoku rice and polished to 50%. All of 寫樂's products are very popular and sell out in the blink of an eye, but the Hatsushibori in particular has been eagerly awaited by our customers.
Although it is the first shibori-shu, the aroma is calm, and when placed on the tongue, it gently opens up with a fruity overtone. Compared to junmai hatsushiborisake, the aroma and rice flavor are deeper and richer. It also has a crisp, well-rounded taste." (from the Kagiya Sake Shop website) (from the Kagiya Sake Shop website)
We found this bottle at our regular liquor store and bought it. We chose it because it is from a sake brewery near Aizu Wakamatsu, a favorite of our family.
It is a nice, clean, sweet sake, but there is a slight tanginess to it.
