ヒラッチョ
Ancient Capital" by Sasaki Shuzo in Kyoto
The title of the label was written by Yasunari Kawabata.
He praised the Sasaki Sake Brewery's sake, saying, "The flavor of this sake is the taste of Kyoto," and wrote "Ancient Capital" for his work.
In Kawabata Yasunari's novel "Ancient Capital", the scene of cherry blossoms at Heian Shrine is glossy and full of Kyoto's atmosphere, and this "Ancient Capital" special pure rice sake is calm and nourishing.
This "Ancient Capital" special junmai is calm and nourishing. It is not flashy or sweet, but rather has the wabi and sabi of a dry landscape.
The quietness of the appearance had an opposite impact on me.
