Matsuura Shuzo "Chokara" Shishi no Sato Junmai Sake 720ml

From the Matsuura Shuzo brewery in Ishikawa prefecture.

Dewasansan and Gohyaku Mangoku rice, milled to 65%. Kumamoto Yeast.

A beautifully dry and spicy sake, slightly nutty, with the characteristic Shishi no Sato clarity. Pairs beautifully with the “mountain cuisine” of rural Ishikawa, smoky dishes of grilled game meats, miso based stews, braised daikon radish and river trout.

A “chokara” (super dry) sake in the Onigoroshi (“dry enough to kill a demon”) style.
