Hiwata Kimoto Junmaishu Himawari (720ml) 日輪田 生酛純米酒 ひまわり

Despite being a Kimoto, the Himawari sunflower label is the posterchild for summer sake, light and refreshing and best enjoyed chilled and crisp.

日輪田ブランドの夏酒が夏らしいひまわりのラベルで登場!夏に楽しむ酒として酒質設計されているこのお酒は、酸味が印象に残る一回火入れの生もと純米酒です。 通常の商品よりも素早い火入れ(熱処理)・貯蔵を行うことで、生酛仕込みでありながらもフレッシュ感を残した、ジューシーな味わいに仕上がっています。しっかりとした酸、適度な甘さを感じる飲み口が夏にぴったり。蒸し暑い夜の、夏のバーベキューのお供としても最適です。
