Sakagura Daishinsyu Tenouchi (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.
Aroma : Aromas of ripe red apple and steamed rice cake. Round, viscous and full of pleasing rice flavours on the palate, finishing with a touch of spice and citrus peel
How to Enjoy : Sake from the Daishinsyu brewery tends to be light-bodied with a clean, dry finish and good umami aftertaste. This versatility makes it an excellent accompaniment to a variety of cuisines: Classic Japanese, Light Dishes, Grilled Foods, Global Cuisine.
