Daisekkei “Summer Light”
Nagano prefecture
Bursting with freshness
Daisekkei Brewing Company’s seasonal sake is always incredibly juicy. Using aromatic yeast, Daisekkei “Summer Light” doesn’t disappoint. This sake uses Hitogokochi rice from contract farms, polished in a special way called “henpei” to maximize the pure starch center. By carefully controlling the water ratio during fermentation and stopping fermentation at 13% ABV, they creatie a refreshing balance between umami, bright acidity, lightness and a dry finish.
