而今 純米吟釀 愛山 火入 1800ml

Kiyasho Shuzo, founded in 1818 by Shohachi Onishi in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, Japan, began as a lumber merchant, hence the name "Kiyasho" meaning "wood shop." Located on the Hatsuse Kaido road connecting Nara and Kyoto to Ise Shrine, the brewery has preserved traditional sake brewing techniques while evolving over generations. In 2004, sixth-generation owner Tadayoshi Onishi, at age 27, took over amid financial struggles. Working solo, he revived the business and launched the "Jikon" brand, inspired by a Zen term for "seize the moment." Focusing on quality and local rice, it gained acclaim for innovative yet rooted expressions, blending heritage with modern finesse.

The Jikon Junmai Ginjo Aiyama Hiire is a refined pasteurized sake brewed with Aiyama rice from Hyogo, polished to 50%, offering rich sweetness and balance at 16% ABV.

Nosing: Gentle and delightful with sweet melon, strawberry, white peach, and subtle floral hints for a fruity, fragrant aroma.

Palate: Full-bodied richness with juicy sweetness, ripe fruits like melon and berries, light umami, and smooth texture for elegant depth.

Finish: Fresh and lingering with refined sweetness, clean dryness, and satisfying aftertaste.
