2021 Akishika Shuzō Mizore Moyo

Founded in 1886, Akishika Shuzō own around 50 acres of rice fields, while the remaining is sourced from trusted local farmers, all grown organically. For over 20 years now, Akishika have rejected the use of herbicides, pesticides and agricultural chemicals. Oku-san makes his own natural fermented fertiliser using byproducts of farming and brewing - rice husks, straw and bran, as well as sake lees. This natural byproduct has yet another life the following year in rice cultivation. A nigori (cloudy) pure rice sake which is unfiltered, unpasteurised and undiluted. Mizore Moyo is unique in that ⅓ of the moromi (mash) is reserved and mixed back into the pressed liquid. Dry, fresh and fruity with green melon, pear, fennel and a refreshing natural acidity. Unfiltered, unpasteurised, undiluted. Serve chilled.
