Sawanohana, a rare variety of rice that is grown only in Yamagata, has been polished to a rice polishing ration of 50%. The sake is brewed using the traditional Kimoto method to create Kamogawa Kimoto Classic Sawanohana Junmai-daiginjo. Although Sawanohana is generally grown for food consumption, not for sake brewing, it is used to brew this sake because it is “delicious to eat, and also delicious to drink.” Locally grown rice; cool, clear water from snowmelt; and even the bacteria in the brewery that are indispensable for Kimoto-method brewing, all come together to create the terroir that is the distinctive character of this land. This sake is not colorless and transparent, but is viscous, with a light, yellowish hue. It has an aroma that is unique to Kimoto-method brewing, one that is reminiscent of products containing lactic acid, such as yogurt and cheese. Take a sip, and you will sense its smooth acidity accompanied by a sweetness. Finished to have a robust, spirited taste, this sake can happily be paired with rich-tasting dishes such as Chinese food or meat with rich sauces, or dishes that are quite sour. It can be drunk either chilled or prepared lukewarm to enjoy a more rounded and rich rice flavor. This is a junmai-daiginjo with a deeply nostalgic quality that accommodates flavors full of personality.
