An excellent choice for a first encounter with sake. Shirataki’s signature label that is pure as the area’s naturally soft water. Shirataki is located in the heart of the Japanese Alps called “Snow Country” in the Niigata prefecture.
Each spring the snowpack melts providing an abundance of clear natural spring water. This water runs through a coal seam providing a natural filtration process that accentuates the taste and quality of the water. This very soft water is the secret behind the very light, elegant, pretty style of sake made at Shirataki. The town of Echigo Yuzawa is home to “Koshihikari” a famous high quality rice brand in Japan.
Tasting Notes: Dry and smooth with fruity aroma like green apple and ripe peach.
