Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Anzai Shoten's founding and store reopening. Limited edition of 2000 bottles sold out. The second release (#02) was so well received that we released it with the cooperation of Tsuchida Shuzo, a sake brewery located in Kawaba-mura, Gunma Prefecture. We have released the second release (#02) with the cooperation of Tsuchida Sake Brewery in Kawaba-mura, Gunma Prefecture. It is in the same direction as the previous limited edition, but with a slightly more refreshing impression. It is brewed with rice produced in Gunma Prefecture and brewed using the traditional method of "ikuhashi-zukuri" (sake brewing). It can be enjoyed cold, chilled, or warmed with any meal. Item : Sake Ingredients : Rice (produced in Gunma Prefecture), Rice malt (produced in Gunma Prefecture) Polishing ratio : 90 Contents :720ml Sake Making Process :Nama yeast Alcohol content:15%(Non-draft) Storage Method :Please keep at room temperature out of direct sunlight Place of production: Tsuchida Shuzo" (from Anzai Shoten's website) This is one of the bottles we purchased on our trip to Kusatsu last week. It is an original sake of Anzai Shoten, and is made from Koshihikari rice instead of sake rice. It has a very gorgeous aroma, but the sake by itself has a slightly bitter taste. However, when paired with food, the bitterness turns into a delicious flavor, making it a very tasty sake as a food sake. I would like to buy it again when I visit Kusatsu.
