Shichida “75” Aiyama Hiyaoroshi
Saga prefecture
Luscious with a hint of sweetness
“75” refers to the rice polishing ratio, and Aiyama is the name of the sake rice. The brewers were careful not to over polish, to respect the soft mouthfeel that Aiyama sake rice offers. Ripe grape aromas, along with Shichida’s signature weighty, plump mouthfeel, can be enjoyed in this seasonal release, which was pasteurized just once in the spring and carefully matured for the fall.

Tenzan Brewing Company
Tenzan Brewing Company was founded in 1875 when a husband and wife team with a flour and noodle business purchased a brewery that was going under. Currently the sixth-generation president Kensuke Shichida constantly challenges them to evolve together with the current trend of sake. That said, their focus from the beginning has been to maximize the quality of their sake using the natural bounty that Ogi city provides. It is really fun to watch their collaboration with the tightknit brewing community, and Shichida’s leadership in Japan — and also internationally — is worthy of note.
