Description
A seasonal honjozo brewed with Nagano-grown rice polished to 59%, bottled muroka (unfiltered) and nama (unpasteurized) as the first press of the season from Shinshu Meijo. The unfiltered, unfired process preserves the fresh, slightly robust character of the new-press sake, available from early December through mid-February.

From the brewery
初しぼりは搾りたてのお酒のフレッシュ感をたいせつにするため、火入れをしない生酒のまま、瓶詰めします。熟成された味わい豊かな秋のお酒〈ひやおろし〉とは、正反対の魅力を持ちます。若々しく、荒々しくもある味わいながら、華やかな香りと初々しいあまやかで華やかな香りが春を感じさせます。Original text from the brewery, in Japanese.
