Characteristics
① A rich, deep flavor that makes the most of the rice's umami.
Junmaishu is made from locally grown sake rice called Koshitanrei, polished to 70% and brewed without any additives. It is a traditional slow food style sake that spreads the "umami of rice".
② A good balance of moderate acidity and a mature feel
Although it has an alcohol content of 15%, it has a good balance with the acidity, and the aftertaste is crisp and not heavy. The flavor changes depending on the temperature, so you won't get tired of drinking it, and it goes well with Japanese food.

Carrying on the traditions of Japanese sake culture, it is perfect for everyday use. The proprietress of a sake brewery suggests unique ways to use it, such as "using it as a lotion."
Pairing suggestions
・Fried foods (tempura, fries, etc.)
The acidity cuts the heaviness of the oil and leaves a clean aftertaste. It goes great with fried shrimp and chicken (acid is important for deep-fried foods!).
・Creamy cheese (Camembert or Brie)
The umami and sourness of Junmaishu rice brings out the richness and lactic acidity of the cheese. It's also a great way to finish off a French or Italian meal.
・Strong-flavored Japanese cuisine such as grilled eel and liver skewers
The combination of the eel fat and sweet and spicy sauce has a refreshing effect on the whole dish. In fact, it is a standard way to enjoy Junmaishu at restaurants, combining it with liver and eel.
