Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjo Winter Time (720ml) 宮寒梅 純米吟醸 Winter Time

This Winter release is an "active nigori", slightly cloudy, a vibrant sake conjuring images of the falling snow in the Miyagi winters.
It has a fruity ginjo aroma with hints of citrus and flavours reminding of fresh orange yet with a creamy mouthfeel. An expertly balanced and refreshing brew.

Kanbai Shuzo 寒梅酒造

Kanbai Shuzo, the producers of Miyakanbai sake, are the only cultivation brewers in Miyagi prefecture. Cultivation brewers are those extra dedicated individuals who manage all processes of the creation of their sake starting with rice cultivation. Both rice farming and brewing are carried out in the endless countryside landscape of the Osaki Plain.Kanbai Shuzo cultivates four types of sake rice on their land, the Aikoku, Hiyori, Miyamanishiki and Yamadanishiki. 20% of their total sake production is made with their home cultivated sake rice and the remaining 80% is made exclusively with Miyagi grown rice from local farmers.
