"Shinriki" is a Junmai Daiginjo using 100% of the phantom sake rice "Shinriki", which Tamamizu Shuzo passionately revived. This rice, which was widely cultivated in western Japan from the Meiji era to the early Showa era, once disappeared, but was revived in the present day by the hands of the brewery.
Unlike modern improved varieties, it is a rice with powerful vitality full of wild flavor. The sake, polished to 50% and brewed slowly at low temperature, has modest flashy aroma, but features a thick umami of rice itself that spreads as you chew. It is a rare gem with only about 1,000 bottles produced annually.
