NOVEMBER 2024 — SAKE OF THE MONTH
MASUIZUMI / KIKUSUI
MASUIZUMI KIJOSHU
By repeatedly brewing sake using sake itself (Kijoshu style), is a rich yet sharp-flavored sake is produced. It is a new type of dessert sake that we want everyone to try!
#1745 MASUIZUMI KIJOSHU 12/500ml (30pf)
MASUIZUMI SHINGIN Junmai Ginjo Nama
The rice is polished using the flat polishing technique, resulting in a delicate sake with few miscellaneous flavors despite the high polishing ratio. The fruity and mild ginjo aroma is well-balanced. This smooth and clean unpasteurized “Nama” sake pairs especially well with sushi and sashimi dishes.
#10628 MASUIZUMI SHINGIN JG NAMA 12/720ml (32pf)
KIKUSUI HIYAOROSHI Junmai Ginjo
This seasonal sake is a lip-smacking treat for the fall! The balance evident in every sip is achieved through the Edo-era method of aging the bottles in the coolest part of the brewery from spring to fall. They doze there from the end of previous brewing season until the chill (Hiya) of fall creeps in, when the brewery drops (oroshi) the sake into the market. This sake has a round, lively personality with notes of rice, honey, and roasted nuts.
