Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki from Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture.
Yamae-Nishiki was produced by the Nagano Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station with the aim of cultivating Nagano's original sake brewing rice comparable to Yamada-Nishiki, and is made from rice grown in Ueda City, the home of the Okazaki Sake Brewery.
It has a mellow, muscat-like top aroma and a fresh chili sensation on the palate that makes one wonder if it is truly fire-brewed. While the fruity sweetness spreads, the beautiful acidity and clean bitterness vividly take over the aftertaste with a crisp finish.
It is still my very favorite Shinshu Kamerei!
