Shichida is one of our favorite sake brands. They center their craft on making sakes which are complex and expressive, while remaining well balanced, and even holding a measure of restraint.
Shichida's Junmai shows aromas of Green apple and honey that lead into a wide and expressive palate. A mild acidity balances the honeyed notes. Power and elegance hanging out in harmony.
Shichida's Junmai is made from locally grown Yamada Nishiki and Reiho rice, milled to 65%. Drink it warm or chilled. It is 17% alcohol by volume.
Shichida is a new project from the 150 year old Tenzan brewery, located in Saga.
Here is a montage of the brewery at work, with delicate piano accompaniment:
