Toshimori Shuzo is a pioneer in the revival of a formerly extinct strain of Omachi sake brewing rice known as Akaiwa Omachi.  Sake Hitosuji Junmai Ginjyo is made from limited production Omachi rice that is polished down to 60%.

Special Characteristics

A session-able sake with a balanced profile of umami and acidity. This producer is capable of striking a level of balance that is so delicate and nuanced that the full nature of this becomes most apparent when tasted in sequence amongst other producers.

Tasting Notes

Clean and ethereal on the nose; aromas of lychee, plantain, mango skin, green apple, apricot blossom, and toasted walnut waft from the glass. Full-bodied and mineral laden with mealy pear, muskmelon, and toasted coconut flavors that linger.
