Rice: Aichi Yume Sansui
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 22%

Tasting Notes: This limited production bottling's refined and elegant aromas and deep flavor are thanks to the brewery's special Yume Sansui sake rice - a local varietal of Aichi prefecture - which Sonnoh Shuzo has grown under contract in Oku Mikawa. This sake rice is difficult to polish and breaks easily when polished to under 50% remaining, but Sonnoh Shuzo's slow and careful method pushes the limits of rice polishing, and the 22% polishing ratio rewards them luxurious rice and fruit flavors that reverberate throughout the palate and enhance any meal.
