Sakagura Daishinsyu GI-Nagano Hitogokochi (720ML)
Details
The brewing philosophy of Daishinsyu has developed into something akin to a religion. Respect for rice, nature and the dedicated farmer, are all key themes at the heart of their operation. Having learned that without a strong bond with the rice farmers, there would be no way to elevate the quality of the sake, Daishinsyu made a commitment to forming a collective of local farmers with whom they would work exclusively and very intimately. This commitment comes in the form of two areas of focus, first to source the rice from a tightly knit group of local rice farmers by contract which maintains a deep connection between brewers and farmers while heavily supporting the local community, economy and environment. Second, in its efforts to maintain the integrity of the raw ingredients, Daishinsyu does all of its milling in-house. This is a rare example for sake brewers today who generally have their rice milled externally.
Taste : With mild ginjo aromas, the sake expresses the nature of Hitogokochi rice, with nuances of spun candy and rice flour, the aromas pillowy and alluring
How to Enjoy : The light and crisp profile of this sake pairs well with a variety of light, delicate dishes.
