Shichiken is a sake that reflects the local terroir by using Furyu water from the Kofikoma mountain range in Hakushu and locally grown sake brewed rice from Yamanashi Prefecture. Although it is a pure rice sake in terms of its grade, the brewing process uses the standard process of pure rice daiginjo and low-temperature fermentation, which gives it a fresh fruit ginjo aroma that is not found in ordinary pure rice sake. After brewing, the sake is bottled and sterilized once, and then matured at low temperature for one year before shipping.
The nose has a red apple aroma, but it is not very strong. In the mouth, it tastes like eating a plum candy, with a pungent taste, a medium body, fuller, and a clean finish, with a short finish, and the acidity and bitterness are not obvious.
When heated to 45 degrees, the apple aroma is still present in the aroma, and the fruit aroma dominates the drink, the plum aroma becomes only a little bit, and the wine is more rounded, but the alcohol is still a little bit obvious.
