About
Koji is made by the isshomori futa-koji method (lid-koji method, in which each koji lid is managed individually), and the shubo (yeast starter) is grown using high-temperature saccharification to produce a pure starter. Brewed in the depths of winter with Ichi no Mizu water, this carefully selected daiginjo was produced with strict control of the moromi (fermentation mash) throughout. This product is a particularly special daiginjo in which shizuku sake, drawn by bag pressing (fukuro-shibori), has been specially stored in tobin (18-liter vessels), a process known as tobin-gakoi. Enjoy the uwadachi-ka (top aroma) and fukumi-ka (aroma on the palate) characteristic of ginjo sake, along with a solid flavor and a clean finish. Ichi no Shizuku is a sake of Hiroshima Prefecture.
