CLASSIFICATION

Junmai • Pure Rice Sake

Yamahai • Traditional yeast starter method

Genshu • Undiluted

Koshu • Aged

The Miyako-Bijin brewery is located in the south of Awaji Island and they believe in focusing on quality over quantity. The classification of ‘Koshu’ refers to aged sake and this is a wonderful example of a carefully aged Nihonshu. The ageing process brings out different qualities in sake and this wonderful example shows layers for complexity for a sake brewed 26 years ago.

The Miyako Bijin 1997 Koshu has been aged in tank at the brewery and is an incredible example of how delicious koshu can be. Notes of baked mushroom & nuts with a medium-full palate, soft texture and a balanced and vibrant acidic structure. Honey & spice follow with a touch of elegant bitterness on the finish.
