Zaku Junmai Daiginjo Hakutsurunishiki

You may not be familiar with the name Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, but you've likely heard of "Zaku." It's a brewery representing Mie Prefecture, chosen even as the toast sake at the Summit. This time we introduce a bottle made with Hakutsurunishiki, the sake rice developed by Hakutsuru Shuzo. A gorgeous ginjo aroma with the gentle scent of joshinko (rice flour) and shiratama (sweet rice dumplings). First, a soft sweetness and umami soak through, and the acidity that appears in the second half shapes it into a clean, crisp flavour.
