CHIYO SHUZO | NARA

CLASSIFICATION

Junmai • Pure Rice Sake

Muroka • No charcoal filtration

Nama • Unpasteurised

Genshu • Undiluted

Nigori • Cloudy

Chiyo Shuzo is run by Tetsuya Sakai. The Shinomine range of sake from Chiyo is named after the Shinomine mountain range not far from the brewery. Sakai-san’s focus with the Shinomine range is to craft balanced and acid-driven sake that showcases the rice type along with the ability to age gracefully.

The Moromi Nigori is directly bottled from the tank, only given a very coarse filter, and thus contains fermentation sediment. Very fragrant notes of fresh ferment. The palate is dry and textural with the slightest hint of spritz. A wonderful aperitif.
