Asajiwo Tokubetsu Junmai Shigawataribunerokugo

This Asajiwo Tokubetsu Junmai from Hirai Shoten in Shiga is the pasteurized expression of their Shiga Watari Bune No. 6 rice series, offering a more stable and slightly more rounded character than the raw version while retaining the heirloom rice variety's characteristic depth. Shiga Watari Bune No. 6 is a revived ancient variety believed to share lineage with Omachi rice, known for producing sake with bold flavor, natural umami, and earthy complexity. The tokubetsu junmai classification signals additional refinement in either polishing ratio or technique beyond the base junmai standard.
