Nansen 2021

 

Established in 1912, Miyoshino Jōzō produces a unique range of Sake. The current Tōji [Master Brewer] is Teruaki Hashimoto, whose sake-making philosophy is very unique, with a strong emphasis on natural yeast.

The Nansen is made with organically grown rice polished to only 80%. Also utilising 'Yon-Dan Shikomi' (four-stage fermentation), this unique process creates a wonderfully rich and elegantly sweet style of sake.
