This sake is brewed with locally grown sake rice varietal Akita Sake Komachi and enhanced by Dewatsuru's unique brewing method of using soft water. Hisho no Mai translates to "dance of flight", referencing the elegance of cranes (Tsuru) taking off in the sky. This sake has a rich aroma or lush ripe apples, melon, violets, and a touch of mint. This sake dances seamlessly from fruity sweetness to acidic and astringent notes, ending with a gentle savory umami and whispery dryness. The exquisitely refined flavors linger on the palate.
Food Pairings: Cucumber with ume plums, oysters, sardine fish balls, marinated octopus, tartines (open-faced sandwiches), etc.
