Tohoku Meijyo Hatsumago JunmaiDaiginjo Kagaboshi
"Kagaboshi" is a dialect unique to the Shonai region of Yamagata Prefecture, where the brewery is located, and means "dazzling" and "I can't keep my eyes open because it shines." Junmai Daiginjo made with 100% Dewa Sansan, named after the shining rice. The junmai daiginjo brewed this winter has a deep and mellow taste after being squeezed and aged quietly in the brewery. The fragrance is not too gorgeous and has a well-balanced volume as Junmai Daiginjo. Of course, this sake is also kimoto-zukuri, which can be said to be the symbol of the Hatsumago. When raw, it may be heavy, but it is a sake that goes well with food without any dullness. If you drink it chilled, be careful not to let it cool too much, as it will have a slightly bitter taste. The refreshing scent of ginjo and the swelled taste are in perfect harmony. It's perfect for delicious autumn dishes.
Igarashi Shuzo Tenransan Momoiro Nigori Sake
Igarashi Shuzou Brewery is in the Saitma Prefecture located at the confluence of the Naguri and Nariki Rivers. This is a rare sake produced using pink yeast. There are two companies within the prefecture, including Igarashi Shuzo using this pink yeast. Pink yeast is very delicate, to the point the pink colour becomes less noticeable when mixed with even the slightest difference in yeast. Because of this delicacy, special tools are used for this sake and has been produced with such care to prevent other yeasts from contaminating it. Don't let cute pink colour fool you, this sake is not as sweet as it looks. It has a balance of sweet and sour taste.
