Description
Yamahai Junmai Muroka Namagenshu "sanQ" sake is produced in Fukui Prefecture from 60% polished Gohyaku Mangoku rice and brewed using the Yamahai method, which uses only water and koji and does not add lactic acid. Maibijin SanQ sake has a rich, round, umami-rich taste with a nice, pronounced acidity reminiscent of yellow wine. This is a sake that will be particularly appreciated by wine lovers as well as those seeking the taste of umami. Alcohol content: 16.2°
Flavor

Appearance: The sake is bright and clear. It has a lovely, slightly deep straw color.

Nose: The first nose is powerful and aromatic. We sense all the complexity of this multifaceted sake: Muroka, Genshu, Nama, Yamahai... We find a nose of undergrowth, mushrooms and roasted hazelnuts. We also have marked notes of rice and cocoa. There are fruits like cooked golden apple, light soy sauce and root vegetables like daikon and black radish.

Palate: The attack is fresh, between salinity and a slight sweetness. It perfectly defines the Yamahai style: a beautiful, persistent acidity, a velvety texture, and frank aromas. There are notes of mushroom, light soy sauce, toasted buckwheat, and lemon zest.

Finish: The mid-palate fades into a finish marked by Medjool date and peach. Beautiful complexity and plenty of umami.

Mikawa Shuzo
The producer

Mikawa Shuzo

Founded in 1887 in the east of Fukui City, the house Mikawa has been perpetuating family know-how in the art of sake for six generations. Almost entirely destroyed in the Fukui earthquake of 1948, the brewery was rebuilt with determination. Today, Kinya Mikawa and his wife Kumiko are taking over: she manages the shop in the Koinazu district, while he oversees production, infusing each batch with his demands for excellence and taste. Its iconic brand, Maibijin, takes its name from the Edo period, in homage to the most beautiful dancer in the village, so nicknamed by a feudal lord. Keen to reflect the wealth of the region, Mikawa uses local rice and traditional methods, such as steaming in a Japanese kettle and fermentation in cherry wood tanks, the pride of the house. Even today, it bottles all its know-how and passion, to the delight of sake lovers in Japan and Europe.
