We try to pick up the seasonal releases from Shiga's Tomita Shuzo whenever we can, and we can say beyond a doubt that this Spring's Shichi Hon Yari is spectacular! This fresh-pressed shiboritate is pulled from the middle portion of the pressing and bottled for shipment just in time for Spring sake-drinking festivities. Using Tamazakae, an heirloom rice variety indigenous to Shiga prefecture, this expression of Shichi Hon Yari is deceptively light on the palate, sneaking its hefty 18% ABV by without issue. Get yeasty, grainy aromas and notes of melon, yogurt, and lime peel while enjoying its crisp texture and mellow, earthy palate.
