SHOCHIKUBAI'S SELECTED BRANDS

SHOCHIKUBAI Shirakabe-Gura
Mitani Fujio Yamahai Ginjo

A ginjoshu produced entirely from the very finest Gohyakumangoku sake rice polished until it is 60% of its original size. The entire brewing process is carefully overseen by chief brewer Fujio Mitani and the yamahai method for which the brewery is renowned is used. This means that the sake is brewed slowly without constant mixing of the rice and yeast. Mitani has achieved a crisp sake with a rich, deep flavour while also managing to preserve a delicate ginjo fragrance.

SHOCHIKUBAI Shirakabe-Gura
Mitani Fujio Yamahai Junmai

This is a rich, medium-dry junmaishu also brewed using the yamahai method and meticulously polished Gohyakumangoku rice. Master brewer Fujio Mitani has made every effort to ensure that the rich flavour and fragrance typical of junmaishu has been preserved, combined with a sharp, crisp edge to the sake. Mitani's insistence on the importance of the preservation of the traditional yamahai brewing technique is responsible for the complexity, depth and delightful acidity of the flavour.

SHOCHIKUBAI
Kyoto Fushimizu-jitate

This is a sake aimed exclusively at the overseas market, and the brewery are confident that even those people who do not like the taste and fragrance particular to Japanese sake will enjoy drinking this. Brewed using the famously pure fushimizu water which flows underground in the Fushimi district of Kyoto, this sake has a real elegance and a sharp, clean finish. Equally suited to drinking chilled or heated as atsukan, this makes the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of cuisine.
