Smooth and light tasting Junmai sake
All of Shirafuji's sake tastes different from barrel to barrel. Sake made with the same basic recipe has another character depending on the environment in which it is fermented.
In particular, this No. 2 barrel has a fruity and refreshing taste.
This is because this No. 2 started brewing in December of 2023. At that time, there was a strong wind near the Woodinville brewery. That wind brought the wild yeast from this winery town to the sake barrels, where it naturally fermented with the sake yeast.
Therefore, the taste is fruity, like Chardonnay, and also wine-like. The result is a sake with a very Woodinville-like character.
Hot or chilled.
Junmai sake can be enjoyed hot.
When served chilled, it has a clean, aromatic flavor, and when heated, it has a smooth, mellow taste.
Junmai sake should be handled in the same as white wine.
Once opened, storing in the refrigerator and drinking as soon as possible is recommended.
We recommend storing it in a cool, dark place and consuming it within six months.
