Product Description

Aiyama, a popular sake rice called "the diamond of sake rice," is polished up to 40% and is a gem with a good balance of sweetness and aroma. Enjoy the juicy flavor of Aiyama and the clear taste of Toyo Bijin, a "superb and noble Junmai Daiginjo" that is different from Junmai Ginjo.

About the product

Brewery introduction

Matsuura Shuzo Co., Inc.

At Shishi no Sato, our Junmai Ginjo class sake with a rice polishing ratio of sixty percent or less is crafted to be enjoyed young and fresh. The natural carbon dioxide produced during fermentation is retained in the bottle, where it acts as a natural antioxidant. For those who prefer a more matured character, the sake can be poured into one cup and then transferred into another. This process allows the carbon dioxide to dissipate, resulting in a softer and rounder flavor. Gently warming the sake will also promote further maturation and bring out additional depth and complexity. By exploring these different ways of enjoying the sake and pairing it thoughtfully with food, you can experience Shishi no Sato more fully. One issyo or one point eight liters of Junmai sake is roughly equivalent to the yield from about one tsubo or approximately three point three square meters of rice paddy. We hope you will enjoy and appreciate the beauty of Japans rural landscapes, the culture of sake, and the unique appeal of Japanese brewed beverages.
