Product information "Houka Black Label Junmai Daiginjo - 720ml"
Houka Black Label Junmai Daiginjo is a classic example of pure rich flavoured Junmai Daiginjo sake. In the nose lots of fruit like melon, peach, strawberry, blueberry. Great juicy pallet where all the flavors from the nose coming back, with a refined touch of acidity balancing the light sweetness. The finish is full of rolling acidity giving it a desired long pleasant finish.
Enjoy this sake cold in a wine glass.
Best served with a traditional Kaiseki meal, awesome with pasta dishes.
Toshimaya Brewery in Nagano has been producing artisanal sake since 1891 on the shores of the mystical Suwa Lake. With an annual production of just 1700 koku, it is a true craft brewery led by Toji Komatsu Yukio and guided by the vision of the young president. The brewery uses water sourced from Mount Hachi Buse, carefully balancing minerals such as magnesium and potassium to suit the yeast starter. The rice is cultivated locally by contracted farmers, creating a strong bond between the growers and the brewer, a connection proudly celebrated in the tasting room where the farmers’ portraits are displayed. Alongside classic rice types like Miyama Nishiki, Yamada Nishiki and Kinmon Nishiki, local varieties including Takane Nishiki, Shirakaba Nishiki and Hitogokochi are also used. The brewery is further distinguished by a private collection of Samurai armour housed in a hidden museum and has earned repeated gold medals at the International Wine Challenge.
