Kuheiji Betsu Atsurae

Brewed by Kuheiji using estate-grown Yamadanishiki rice polished to 35%, representing the pinnacle of their Kamoshibito series. This Junmai Daiginjo showcases the precision of highly polished rice, where the umami character of Yamadanishiki still expresses itself at this milling rate. The sake features deliberately reduced residual sugar content for exceptional clarity, balanced by taut acidity that creates a vibrant, fiery opening. The brewing philosophy emphasizes terroir, with particular attention paid to the rice fields and soil conditions at their Kurodasho locations, reflecting a respect for nature's spontaneous rhythms in the cultivation process.
