Hiwata Kimoto Junmai Ginjo (720ml) 日輪田 生酛 純米吟醸

Hagino's Hiwata brand creates wonderfully contemporary representations of the ancient Kimoto method. Encompassing both a light Ginjo aroma and soft mouthfeel combined with a rich umami of melting rice, this Kimoto Junmai Ginjo offers wonderful pairing possibilities.

日輪田(ひわた)とは古代神に捧げる穀物を育てたまるい田のこと。萩野酒造の「日輪田」ブランドには、お日様と田んぼの恵みを皆で輪になって楽しんで欲しいという願いも込められています。多くの時間と労力を要す生酛造りは古くからの伝統製法ですが、萩野酒造では、独特のボディ感をキレイに楽しめるよう醸造されていることで、見事に現代的に表現されたクリアでピュアな味わいに仕上がっています。爽やかで穏やかな香りに、上品な旨味と繊細な酸味がバランス良く調和した一本です。
