Hatsumago Shiosai Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo

Product Description

• Taste: Fresh, juicy, crisp, clean

• Description: Shiosai is Hatsumago's seasonal summer Junmai Daiginjo, brewed by the traditional kimoto method. The sake is stored at low temperature straight after pressing and bottled fresh from the brewery, preserving its fresh, crisp character. Expect a juicy aroma and a bright, clean palate. The brewery recommends it with rock oysters, a summer delicacy of the Shonai coast, and it is equally good with other seafood. Chill it in the fridge and serve in a wine glass to enjoy the aroma fully.

Tohoku Meijo was founded in 1893 at Jurizuka in Sakata, on the Shonai plain of Yamagata, and brews under the Hatsumago name. Its defining commitment is that its entire output is made by the kimoto method, the labour-intensive traditional starter in which lactic acid develops naturally rather than being added. The company works under the motto "power comes from inside".
