Shungaku

Koshihikari polished to 50% gives this sake from Asahishuzo in Echizen, Fukui, a distinctive rice character rarely seen from a table-rice variety at this polish level. The brewery has pursued the challenge of using Fukui's celebrated Koshihikari in sake production for generations, developing the technique needed to extract umami and roundness without the grain splintering. Shungaku is a seasonal release from this long-established regional kura.
