Today's sake is from an unusual sake house.
I bought it at a sake brewery's tasting sale in a department store in April.
Shimizuya Sake Brewery, Tatebayashi City, Gunma Prefecture
The rice polishing ratio is 50%.
Alcohol content 16%.
Sake degree - Acidity
This brewery was temporarily closed due to circumstances, and the sixth generation created Eimanju in 2010.
The brewery is said to be run by three people.
The following are the particulars of the sake brewery!
100% Gohyakumangoku, a single breed of rice suitable for sake brewing.
Only rice harvested in a single year is used.
Only rice harvested in a single year is used.
600kg brewing and small amount of brewing
Long term low temperature fermentation...maximum 34 days of fermentation
Unfiltered sake
It's called "VINTAGE", so I guess it's an aged sake.
Since it is designed to be a wine, it tastes like a white wine.
Even though the rice polishing ratio is 50%, the ginjo aroma is not so strong, and it smells more like lemon or pear. When you put it in your mouth, the strong acidity comes rushing in from the toned texture. You can enjoy the lingering aftertaste for a long time because of the tart texture. The aftertaste is not winey, and you can feel the flavor of the rice.
If you let it air in your mouth like tasting wine, you can enjoy the good smell, so please try it.
It's delicious!

Look at that third picture! It has a bottom that looks like a wine bottle.Â
To open the bottle, use a wine opener. The stopper is made of plastic, not cork.

The drawback is the cost! The main body price of 2,600 yen for a four-pack bottle is not easy to afford for a small-spending husband💦
