Nishi Shuzo, famous for its sweet potato shochu "Hozan," has created a sake!
Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Yamada-Nishiki. It is a refined sake that should be drunk with a glass of wine. The glass overflows with a gorgeous ginjo aroma of pears, melon, and white peaches. When the glass is turned to let the air in, the aroma of yogurt, fresh cheese, fresh chestnuts, and chestnut flowers can also be detected, allowing you to enjoy the harmony of layers of aromas. On the palate, the attack is mellow. Creaminess with umami, and the fruit flavors that were also present in the aroma spread out. The lingering finish has excellent penetrating power, and despite the richness of the mid-palate, the finish is delicate, as if drawing a straight line.
It can be paired with a wide range of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes as a food wine, such as sashimi, Japanese dishes with soup stock, Western dishes with butter or cream, fatty Kurobuta pork shabu-shabu, and savory dishes such as tempura and fried dishes.

This is the first time "San-do" has produced a "shichi-no-kozo" using the old brewing method "shiori.
The brewery uses rice from the Kikuchi River basin, which is the best match for the brewing water, the same brewing method since the Edo period (1603-1868), "Namo yeast brewing," "pesticide-free cultivation," based on the concept of "not making everything an enemy," "fertilizer-free farming" that respects the diversity of bacteria and microbes, the "wooden vat brewing method" with the scent of cedar, as it was in the Edo period, and "yeast-free brewing" that takes a long time to brew to awaken natural yeast. The "additive-free yeast" brewing process, which takes a long time to awaken the natural yeast, and the "Shiori" brewing method, which is similar to the sake used to kill the eight-forked serpent in the ancient tale of Kojiki (the oldest chronicle of Japan).
The crystallization of these seven methods of farming and brewing is the highest peak of this season's "Shichinonosozo".
All of these elements are layered on top of each other to create a deep sense of concentration.
Please enjoy the taste of the condensation of the blessings and individuality of the land, the richness of nature, ancient brewing methods, and the power of bacteria and microorganisms that live in the natural world.

October 1 is well known to sake fans as "Sake Day," but it is actually also known as "Glasses Day. The reason for this is the existence of "Haginotsuru Megane Exclusive," a popular limited edition sake with an eye-catching label.
This year again, under the concept of "Toast with Glasses and Sake! and brewed exclusively by brewers who all wear glasses (surprisingly!). The brewery will release a special sake for October 1.
The label of each product features an illustration of the brewer's face with glasses, and the common design is a sasuki (sash-hanging) design inspired by an eye test chart. In addition, a "Megane Wiping Cloth" is included as a common bonus.
The remarkable "original glasses-only" sake quality, contrary to its unique appearance, is one that has been seriously crafted based on the belief of pursuing the highest quality. Despite its light impression, the pursuit of original sake quality has resulted in a taste that can be enjoyed by all, with the sweetness of rice blended with a white peach-like flavor and refreshing acidity.
