Sasameyuki refers to light dainty snow flakes, as a reference to the arrival of winter. Saku City in Nagano, where the brewery is situated, is known for its abundant snowfall, during the harsh winters.
A new release within the Kame no Umi line-up, this early winter release, captures the spirit of what's known as "First-Pressed" sake. Bottled directly from the tank, & unpasteurized, the Jikagumi technique places an emphasis on offering an unadulterated expression which locks in maximum freshness.
Expect top notes aromas reminiscent of pineapples and fresh melons, and a pleasant sweetness of rice. Light effervescence & hint of spice makes this sake, a great accompaniament with Hot Pot or Nabe dishes
It has the freshness of new sake and a slightly spicy nuance of slight fizz. It goes great with hot pot dishes such as mizutaki.
長野県産のひとごこちで醸した、亀の海シリーズ最初の新酒です。 槽口より静かにあらばしりから中汲みを直接瓶詰めし、フレッシュ感を重視。 パイナップル、フレッシュなメロンを想わせる香りと、心地よい米の甘さを感じます。 新酒らしいフレッシュ感とややピりりとした微発泡のニュアンス。 水炊きなどの鍋物と相性が抜群です。
