Tasting Notes

An exquisitely crafted sake that opens with a vibrant, gorgeous bouquet of freshly cut apple, ripe pear, and delicate white peach. On the palate, it is beautifully expansive and full-bodied, delivering complex layers of flavor driven by excellent natural acidity. The experience resolves elegantly into a soft yet remarkably crisp finish. This Junmai Daiginjo pairs magnificently with delicate, oceanic flavors, making it an exceptional companion for caviar, fresh sea urchin (uni), crab, and raw oysters.

Overview

Brewed by Matsuura Shuzo in Ishikawa Prefecture, "Shishi no Sato" (Village of the Lion) represents the pinnacle of regional craftsmanship. This specific release is exceptionally rare, as it is brewed using Grade A "Aiyama" rice sourced from Yokowa. Often referred to as the "Diamond" of sake rice, Aiyama is incredibly difficult to cultivate and highly sought after by master brewers, usually reserved exclusively for their most prestigious and limited releases. Combined with local Kanazawa #1401 yeast, this sake achieves a profound depth, full body, and brilliant acidity that truly honors its rare ingredients.
