Matsuno Kotobuki Ginjo Namachozo Sake - (300ml)
Nestled in a pine forest for which it is named, Matsui Shuzo is the oldest traditional sake brewery in central Kyoto. This small family owned brewery uses only local rice for its brewing. The toji, Motohiro Matsui, is also the owner, taking over from his father, running the company and responsible for all the brewing. He studied at Tokyo University and is a member of the Shimotsuke Brewer's Association. The water in Shioyamachi is soft, running through the mountains of pine forest surrounding the brewery for use in all production of sake. Unique to the brewing process is the blending of two yeast strains which is used to obtain a special flavor element within the sake.
This sake has a delicate fresh nose with hints of candied orange, mint, bright strawberry and grassiness. Aromas of grand marnier, bananas and spicy juniper linger. The palate is medium bodied with lively rich tones of cherry, roasted walnut, balanced with minerality and a long finish.
