For this year's theme, "Soft Water Brewing," soft water is used, which is specially treated during the brewing stage. Soft water moderately reduces the rich nutrients in low-polished rice and promotes gentle and uniform fermentation. This delicate approach has resulted in a soft, smooth mouthfeel and rich flavor. In addition, ultra-hard water is used as an additional water source during the unrefining stage. As fermentation progresses and the yeast weakens, the hard water re-activates the fermentation process and produces a deep flavor. This booster effect adds a rich layer of flavor, resulting in a complex and satisfying finish. By skillfully using two different types of water with different properties, we have achieved a new brewing method that controls the gas pedal and brake on the yeast. This innovative approach results in a unique flavor that cannot be tasted anywhere else. It is characterized by an elegant aroma that spreads in the mouth and a delicate flavor that seems to dance on the tongue. The softness of soft water and the strength of ultra-hard water are in perfect harmony, and you can enjoy the depth and richness as if you could feel the changing of the seasons.

This junmai-shu is brewed with a so-called low-polishing rate of around 90% for both koji and kake rice, in order to revive the essence of sake from the Edo period. Normally, brewing sake with rice that has been almost completely unpolished is extremely difficult, as it tends to produce a cloying taste. This sake is made with the best of the brewery's ginjo-making techniques, while at the same time expressing the elegance of a modern ginjo. From the 2019 harvest, the rice will be made in wooden vats, embodying a more traditional form. The process of brewing has evolved remarkably, and the future growth potential is unlimited. Fans are encouraged to follow this work.

Kijoshu was developed in 1973 by National Tax Agency engineers based on Japan's oldest sake brewing method. Sake is usually brewed with rice, rice malt, and water, but this process replaces some of the water with sake. The sake undergoes another fermentation process in the mash, resulting in a thicker and sweeter sake. The sake is named "Yonotori" (meaning "the bird of the day" in Japanese) in reference to the rebirth of the sake. The sake added to the product is aged for one year in oak barrels, which gives it a vanilla-like aroma that enhances the sweetness of the sake. In addition, the sake is now made in wooden vats, making it the one and only "Kijo-zake" (noble sake).

Tobirazumi, which manufactured several thousand koku at its peak, now produces only 800 koku. Masaaki Saito, 37, the 27th generation head of the brewery, is working hard with younger members. Masaaki Saito has come up with a new brand of sake called HITEN. While maintaining the traditional Yamahai brewing method, the brand was created with the aim of creating a "new taste" and a "sake to be delivered to the next generation. The new sake was created based on the idea that "we can't differentiate ourselves unless we make sake with a taste that other breweries don't have". The refreshing citrus aroma of lime and lemon is combined with the gentle aroma of lactic acid. Light and fresh on the palate, with gentle sweetness and light acidity. It tastes fresh, like a young Sauvignon Blanc or an Italian Soave. Try it warmed." (I thought it would be impossible to warm up a white wine, but it was surprisingly good. The softness of the lactic acidity is emphasized, and the taste is full and rich without losing its richness. I recommend a wine glass for cold sake, or a flat sake cup for warmed sake!

Tangerine is a new addition to Shinmasa's "Colors" series of fire-aged sake. The rice used for this sake is "Fukunohana" rice, which was created in 1959 at the Tohoku Agricultural Experiment Station. In Akita, Fukunohana was introduced after Koso-Shinko, and was cultivated actively for a while, but was replaced by Miyamanishiki, and its cultivation disappeared. Fukunohana is a relatively soluble rice that produces a sake with a broad flavor, but it also has the delicacy and wildness typical of rice from the Tohoku region. This sake also has a bright acidity and a smooth flavor.
