[Sugisama Junmai Genshu Aki-agari]

A rich, mellow umami with an elegant finish.

This is an Aki-agari (autumn release) from Sugisama Sake Brewery, brewed using "Yukigesho" sake rice from Yamagata Prefecture polished to 60%.

The soft rice umami characteristic of Yukigesho combines with the rich body unique to Aki-agari—which has mellowed over the summer—to create a flavor profile with wonderful depth.

On the palate, the rice's umami spreads out satisfyingly, yet the finish is clean and crisp, disappearing with pleasant sharpness.
It offers the charm of an elegant lingering note that doesn't feel heavy, even while enjoying its robust flavor.

When chilled to 15°C or below, you can enjoy its soft umami and clean finish. Raise the temperature slightly for an even fuller flavor, and enjoy it warmed to allow the rice's umami and richness to expand further.
Delicious both chilled and warmed.

True to its status as an Aki-agari, it pairs perfectly with the rich flavors of autumn cuisine.
This is a bottle to be savored slowly at your autumn table, enjoying how the flavor evolves with the temperature.
