A "mellow dry" junmai sake with a sharpness of +10 yeast and the umami of rice. The softness of the aftertaste is still present in a dry sake.
It has the rich, full flavor and sharp dryness of a Junmai sake. The lingering spiciness is particularly impressive, and the full-bodied umami flavor is suppressed to create a pleasantly spicy taste. It is a dry sake that is easy to drink.
It is suitable for a wide range of temperatures, from chilled to hot. When heated, it becomes mellower and the difference between the umami in the first half and the spiciness in the second half becomes clearer.
We recommend heating it to lukewarm.

This junmai ginjo is brewed with 50% polished rice "Gohyakumangoku", aiming for a super dry yet flavorful sake.
The process of "complete fermentation" is the process of growing healthy yeast and allowing the yeast to eat up (break down) most of the sugar in the unrefined sake, which naturally weakens the yeast and stops the fermentation process, thus allowing the sake to ferment completely.
Gohyakumangoku is the second largest sake rice produced after Yamadanishiki. Generally, it is difficult to mill rice to 50% or more because the heart white of this rice is large and easily broken.
It has a subdued and refreshing aroma, a smooth and refreshing mouthfeel, a clean and sharp flavor, and a supple, crisp taste that is refreshing and pleasant.

Tosa Shuzo is a popular brewery that makes sake in small quantities and completely by hand. The "super dry" special junmai sake 60 is made by polishing up to 60% "Akitsuho," locally grown rice suitable for sake brewing in Tosa's Reinokita region, which is blessed with delicious water and air.
The rice is polished to 60% and brewed with great care using the local Iwashimizu water. The sake has a sake strength of +11, which is quite dry even for Tosa sake, which is said to be dry, but its crisp and clear aftertaste makes it an excellent match as a mid-meal drink,
It goes especially well with fish dishes such as bonito tataki, sashimi, and simmered fish.
