Description
Made from 100 percent unpolished brown rice using Hananishiki, the region's signature sake rice, this genmaishu is crushed rather than milled so koji can penetrate the whole grain, a slower process requiring extended soaking and steaming. The result reads like a lighter aged koshu, with notes of caramel and dried fruit up front, followed by roasted sweet potato, shochu lees, dark brown sugar and buckwheat honey. It can be enjoyed chilled or gently warmed, though it shows particularly well at room temperature.

Kamemanshuzo Co.
Kumamoto
Geograficamente cercada pela região produtora de shochu de batata-doce de Kagoshima e pelo shochu de arroz de Kumajin, a Chinju opera em um ambiente de alta dificuldade para o fabrico de sake. A cervejaria utiliza o método exclusivo de ajuste de temperatura do moromi em grandes quantidades para produzir um sake único, característico de regiões tropicais. O sabor é marcado por doçura de arroz seguida de aroma rico e profundo, com corpo intenso que combina bem com pratos encorpados. A nova quarta geração, formada em Tochigi, assumiu as operações como funcionário permanente e continua desafiando as adversidades para oferecer sake de alta qualidade aos clientes.
