Shizenshu Kan Atsurae

Shizenshu Kan Atsurae
A junmai from the Shizenshu (“natural sake”) brand, made with organic rice, additive-free yeast, and using the traditional kimotozukuri (or kimoto) method for the fermentation starter. This sake has been conceived to be fully enjoyed as an atsukan, that is warmed up: the higher temperature opens up all the rich aroma of the fermentation starter. Perfect for warming up in winter and for healing the weariness of a workday all year round!
