Shishino Sato Junmai Daiginjo Aiyama (720ml) 獅子の里 純米大吟醸 愛山

While the aromatics gently exude hints of just ripened strawberries, on the palate, there is a rich and layered depth of flavours derived from the Aiyama rice varietal, a touch of dried fig and anis seed, and a sharp and dry finish.

このお酒は兵庫県産「愛山」100%で醸されています。「愛山」は非常に割れやすく扱いが大変な酒米。その味わいは、辛口ながら柔らかな含み感と心地よい伸びやかな酸味が口の中に広がります。繊細さと煌びやかさと濃醇さという、いくつもの魅力的な特徴を備えており、飲み手を飽きさせません。
