Wataribune Funa-Shibori (720ml) 渡舟 ふなしぼり 純米吟醸

A beautiful rendition of the ancient Wataribune rice strain, delicately pressed by Fune, the result, a wonderful blend of umami and citrus like acidity, luxurious mouthfeel and a crisp finally.

府中誉と契約農家により復活栽培に成功した、幻の酒造好適米「短桿渡船」。蔵元杜氏の山内孝明社長を筆頭に、その復活米で醸される極上の吟醸酒です。このふなしぼりは、50%まで磨き上げた短桿渡船を丁寧に酒槽で搾り、みずみずしい味わいに仕上げた純米吟醸です。うま味と柑橘系のような酸味、贅沢な口当たり、最後にキレのある味わいが見事に調和しています。

The Fune press is employed by very few modern breweries today due to the strenuous physical work which is required, however, it is believed to most gently extract the wonderful flavours and aromas from sake.
