[Minami Special Junmai Hiyaoroshi]
The signature crispness of Minami, enriched by a summer of aging.
The popular Kochi label "Minami" returns this year with its limited-edition autumn Hiyaoroshi.
This season features a change in the rice used as the raw ingredient.
The sake is brewed to peak in the autumn, having been bottled as unpasteurized, undiluted sake and aged slowly through the summer.
The aroma is gentle.
Served chilled, you can enjoy the crisp, dry finish typical of Kochi sake, while warming it slightly allows the umami to expand and the spiciness to mellow into a harmonious profile.
Without any excessive signs of aging, the roundness developed over the summer harmonizes beautifully with the concentrated umami. The finish has the signature "Minami" sharpness, ensuring it never interferes with the flavors of your meal.
This is a food-friendly Hiyaoroshi perfect for pairing with autumnal delicacies.
You can enjoy its evolving character across a range of temperatures, from chilled to warmed.
