Description
Maibijin Junmai sake is produced in the Fukui region. It is brewed from 60% polished Akisakari rice, water, and koji, without the addition of alcohol. Maibijin Junmai sake is designed to accompany everyday meals. Alcohol content: 15.5°
Flavor

Appearance: This sake is clear with a slight opalescence. It has a straw color.

Nose: The nose is aromatic and frank. We smell soy sauce but also a powerful iodine side with a light touch of curry and immortelle. Upon aeration, it is unique. We find cooked corn and a charcoal side. There is still soy sauce in the background with notes of mushroom and black pepper.

Palate: The attack is discreet at first with lots of spices like black pepper and cayenne pepper. There is a slight sweetness then the whole becomes dry. The sake is direct and frank with light soy sauce and licorice.

Finish: The finish is short with subtle citrus notes: this is a sake that is ideal for accompanying dishes and enhancing them.

Conservation

Store in a cool, dark place. Once opened, consume promptly.

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.
