"Kitaya Junmai-daiginjo Shizuku-shibori" is a Daiginjo using the local brewer’s rice "Yamada Nisiki" produced in Itoshima Fukuoka Prefecture, which is polished to 39% and completed using Shizuku Shibori (squeezing) without applying any pressure. The brewery is located in the best granary region in Kyushu and uses clear underwater of Yabe River’s clear streams springing from Shakagatake/Mt. Gozen as the water for sake making. It is prepared in intense cold, and is fermented carefully like raising one’s own child, completed in Shizuku Shibori. The process is a careful sake-making by hand that takes time and effort. It is a precious Junmai-daiginjo that has a gorgeous and fruity scent combined with a rich taste. It is a rare gem that is available only in limited quantities.
