About the brewery : Yamagata Prefecture is considered to be the "Kingdom of Sake", as it is home to a number of leading Kura. Shuho Shuzojo is one of the region's rising stars, and although the brewery dates back to 1890, it has recently made a name for itself for the quality of its sake, both among its peers and in competitions.

Detailed tasting notes : Shuho Shujozo's brewery has pulled out all the stops to produce this magnificent competition sake. Production in micro batches and 72 hours of continuous polishing, carried out directly at the brewery to achieve a level of 35%. Slow fermentation and ultra-careful maturation for their finest cuvée. A fruity nose of apple and melon. On the palate, it's beautifully smooth and powerful on the fruit. A clean sake that leaves the palate ultra-fresh. The finish is clear, punctuated by spices and a slight bitterness. A fine balance between sweetness and acidity for this house legend.

Serving suggestions : A sake to be enjoyed on the finest of occasions, either neat or as an accompaniment to the most refined dishes.
