TOYO BIJIN, Junmai Ginjo, Jundoichizu, Saito no Shizuku (720ml)

東洋美人 純米吟醸 醇道一途 西都の雫

Tasting Notes : Jundoichizu, words given to President Sumikawa by his mentor, Koichi Yoneda Toji, when he was an apprentice.

He still treasures these words: "No matter what happens, live your life with a single-minded focus on sake brewing, now and in the future."

This series is made with 7 different Sake rice varietals, polished to 50%, non-charcoal filtered and only once pasteurised.

This particular rendition is made with Saito no Shizuku, a sake rice developed to grow in the unique terrain of Yamaguchi prefecture. The aroma is gentle and elegant with hints of sweet rice. On the palate, juicy, voluptuous and full of flavour with a tasty balance of acidity and bitterness on the finish.
