About the brewery : Kariho de Akita Seishu brewery was founded in 1913 in Akita Prefecture. This region is located in the extreme northwest of the island of Honshu, a mountainous area with very harsh winters with heavy snowfall. Add to this a lot of large rice and a very pure spring water, and we have an ideal environment for producing beautiful sake. The particularity of this brewery is to use spring water rich in minerals, while elsewhere in the region the water is rather fresh. This allows them to produce a drier sake with a lively and crisp character. The Kariho brewery of Akita Seishu has retained its traditional brewing methods, such as the use of horizontal presses, without going through the mechanical press and has made itself a specialty of the ancient method of production called "Yamahai".
Detailed tasting notes : Light, elegant and refreshing, this semi-dry sake has a beautiful minerality on the palate, accompanied by subtle notes of sweetness. Its balanced profile offers a delicate, harmonious experience.
Tasting advice : Yamato shizuku can be served hot or cold according to the occasion and your desires. This sake’s natural equilibrium determines the fact that it can go with everything, raw or cooked, simple or more complex dishes. Also delightful to have as an aperitif.
