Sake and Shochu Gumi

 

This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection!

Until brewmaster Miho Imada came along, Hattanso was an indigenous rice strain abandoned and forgotten. Imada was driven to revive this strain, convinced that it would be ideal for sake-making.

After years of cultivation, Fukucho (Forgotten Fortune) is the result. Turns out that this rice is so well suited to Imada’s vision that she uses a high rice polishing ratio of 75%, meaning she only mills 25% of the outer portion of the rice. Imada calls this her casual "denim jeans" sake with refreshing acidity of pineapple complemented with a clean finish. We find it to be super versatile with pairing, from potato salads and oysters to roasted chicken and sweet and sour pork.
