天郷醸造所 在る 宵 緒奏 Shoso スタンダード 720ml

Brewery History:
Amanosato Brewery opened in Fukuchi, Tagawa District, Fukuoka, in 2023 under Yusuke Nakayama. It received an “other fermented alcohol” licence in September 2025 and began brewing the same month. The brand Aru Yoi—“an evening that is”—asks drinkers to look again at an ordinary night. Water is Fukuchiyama spring water; local rice meets traditional koji and modern botanicals. The company later acquired Mannenkame Shuzo in Kurume. Shoso is the everyday, entry cuvée of Aru Yoi.

Sake Introduction:
Shoso means the opening of an ensemble. It is 100% Fukuoka Yamadanishiki, yeast K901, SMV about +5 and amino about 1.3. Fukuoka mint (and related herbs) place it legally as other fermented alcohol, not designated sake. The Standard is a clarified, pasteurized bottling: more stable and transparent than the origarami nama, with restrained sweetness, an earthy close and a mint coolness meant to play with food. Polish is undisclosed. Keep the 720ml cool.

Tasting Notes:
Nosing: Gentle Japanese pear and white peach, with mint freshness and a hint of earth.
Palate: Fine Yamadanishiki umami, dry rather than sweet, clear texture and a herbal chill.
Finish: Sharp and clean, closing on mint and a light bitterness.
