Product details
Shinpaku refers to the starchy center of rice grains, which becomes more prominent when rice is polished for daiginjo sake. To achieve this, at least 50% of the outer layer of the rice must be removed, exposing the shinpaku. This process allows brewers to produce sake with enhanced aromatic and fruity qualities.
This particular sake showcases the benefits of polishing down to the shinpaku, offering a smooth aroma of pears with a subtle hint of mushrooms when first opened. Its taste features a mild, structured sweetness that finishes dry, making it an ideal choice for enjoying chilled at your next oyster or temaki sushi gathering.
