Sommelier's comment
Yamada Nishiki's Junmai Ginjo Genshu. The sweet scent of sweet and sour anzu and honey is slightly mixed with the refreshing scent of herbs. The gentle sweetness of rice is pleasant. The deep taste and the faint aged scent are easy to get close to.
Brewer: Mine no Yuki Sake Brewery
Founded 1942 Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture
There are many sake breweries in Kitakata, so it can be said that it is a brewery town, but it is the youngest brewery in the city. I took "Mine no Yuki" from Mt. Iide, which forms the prefectural border with Yamagata. The brewer is also young and challenges new construction every year. Mead liquor made from only honey from the abundant nature at the foot of the mountain shows the individuality of this brewery.
