Very pale, green-tinged color. Fruity, vibrant aromas of lime, fennel and minerals, with a hint of white pepper; this one is also rather Chablis-like. Rich and soft in the mouth, conveying lovely fullness without weight. Just a bit aggressive and warm on the finish. This needs to be served with food. The water in the Hiroshima prefecture is known for being very soft. Made by one of the very small number of female brewers in Japan.

Varietal

Sake

Sake is a Japanese rice wine made from fermented rice, water, yeast, and koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae), which converts starch into fermentable sugars. Unlike beer, which undergoes sequential fermentation, sake is brewed using multiple parallel fermentation, where saccharification and fermentation occur simultaneously. It typically ranges from 13-16% ABV and is classified based on rice polishing ratio and whether brewer’s alcohol is added. Sake styles vary widely. Junmai sakes, made without added alcohol, tend to have a rich, umami-driven character, while Ginjo and Daiginjo sakes—brewed with highly polished rice—offer delicate, aromatic profiles with notes of melon, pear, and floral elegance. Futsushu, an everyday table sake, is less refined but widely consumed. Sake can be enjoyed chilled, warm, or at room temperature, depending on the variety. With a smooth texture and balanced acidity, it pairs well with sushi, tempura, grilled fish, and a variety of Japanese dishes.

Country

Japan

All over Japan, farmers and wine producers take the production of alcoholic beverages including plum wine and sake very seriously. It is an industry which dates back well over a thousand years, and is held in high esteem in this far east country, where plum wines and sake often accompany meals and are used for ceremonial purposes. Whilst plum wine is produced in a relatively similar way to grape based wines, sake requires a complex process more akin to the brewing of beer, except using a rice mash instead of other grains. The rising popularity of both of these drinks in the west has seen the drinks industry in Japan increase dramatically over recent years, and both quality and quantity has risen alongside demand, and is expected to rise further.
