Kinoene “Okarakuchi” Hatsushibori
Chiba prefecture
Crisp sharpness and savory richness
Kinoene’s “nama” (unpasteurized) sake exudes a mild, clear nectar aroma, inviting you in with its refreshing, tangy and slightly juicy profile. The taste is rich and remarkably dry, highlighting the full essence of rice. This sake is a delightful balance of flavors, with a moderate bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste. Its unique charm lies in the retained carbon dioxide gas from fermentation, contributing to an appealing and distinctive freshness.
