Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate from Kusumi Shuzo, which revived the phantom sake rice "Kame no O".
It is characterized by a refreshing acidity and a clean throat. The sweetness is not exaggerated and goes well with both Western and Japanese food.
The brewery was established by Naohiko Noguchi, nicknamed the "God of Sake Brewing," as the culmination of more than 70 years of sake brewing. The aroma is fresh and sweet, with a hint of green melon and lily flower. The friendly, gentle and soft mouthfeel is enhanced by the fruity flavor from the mid-palate, and the acidic aftertaste provides a long, enjoyable aftertaste.
I wanted to drink it after watching the documentary film "NOGUCHI - God of Sake Brewing" on Netflix, which closely follows the sake brewing process of Naohiko Noguchi!
Founded in 1922 in Minamiuonuma, Niigata. With abundant water and carefully selected sake rice from a region with heavy snowfall, the company has continued to make top-quality sake with the utmost care and attention to human needs. Taking advantage of the natural power of this region, which has one of the heaviest snowfalls in Japan, the sake is matured for eight years in the "snow chamber," a low-temperature storage cellar filled with 1,000 tons of snow. The sake is aged at a low temperature of around 3 degrees Celsius for a long period of time to preserve its light flavor and smooth, elegant taste.
The sake is slowly fermented at low temperatures during the harsh winter season, which is the most suitable time for sake brewing. It is light, crisp, and dry, yet the flavor of the rice spreads generously.
We had it at a restaurant in Harajuku.
The rice flavor, fullness, and mild aroma with a slight dryness are refreshing!
This sake is only available at authorized stores.
