Harushika “Shiboribana”
Nara prefecture
Have you tried sake nouveau?
“Shiboribana” comes from the Japanese word “shiborippana,” meaning the very beginning of pressing sake. This slightly rich “nama” (unpasteurized sake) has a fruity aroma of strawberry and lychee. Fukunohana rice has a bit of protein, which gets broken down into amino acids, creating umami and richness in the sake. Take in the ginjo aromas by drinking this sake nouveau in a wine glass.
