This is a sake made of a special rice grain Yuinoka, whittled away to 35% of its original size, brewed slowly in the coldest months of January and February. Pressing is done at temperatures of -2 degrees, bottled right away and stored at sub-zero freezing temperatures. The aim of this intense polishing is to get at the heart of the rice grain, otherwise known as “shinpaku”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe nose is elegant and demure. On the palate the drinker is greeted with notes of dried pineapple, fresh pear and Fuji apple. This is a sleek sake with good concentration and focus, followed by a broad midpalate feel, and lingering dry finish.
