The rice for this sake is grown organically by Oku-san himself (look out for the logo that looks like a house) and has been made at the brewery for the last 25 years. The Mizore Moyo is unique as it is produced by reserving a third of the Moromi (fermenting liquid) which is then mixed back into the already pressed liquid. This results in a sake with a large amount of very fine sediment and often produces a little gas on opening.
What you can expect:
Aroma of sweet ricey fresh ferment. On the palate, a complex and flavourful brew with dry and bitter finish. Beautiful sipper.
