Chiyo Shuzo Shinomine Azur 2024

Chiyo Shuzo is run by Tetsuya Sakai. The Shinomine range of sake from Chiyo is named after the Shinomine mountain range not far from the brewery. Sakai-san’s focus with the Shinomine range is to craft balanced and acid-driven sake that showcases the rice type along with the ability to age gracefully.

The Shinomine Azur from Chiyo Shuzo is made with Yamada Nishiki rice polished down to 55% remaining. This sake is unique for its use of white Koji-kin (starch breaking mould), creating a very fine acid-driven style with excellent sweetness and a long layered finish. - Black Market Sake

Serve chilled.

Handling: Once opened the Chiyo Shuzo 'Shinomine Yamahai' will last well for at least 6 - 8 weeks, ideally in a refrigerator.
