{"product_id":"ヒメノイ-calm","title":"Himeno is calm.","description":"\u003cp\u003eA quiet, fresh acidity brought to life by white koji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis next-generation sake for meals brings a sense of calm to the heart. The first time I tasted this sake, the immediate thought was, \"What a refreshingly clear acidity!\" Brewed in Takayanagi, a snow-covered region of Niigata, \"calm\" lives up to its name with a transparency reminiscent of a tranquil, calm sea. The presence of citric acid, brought out by the use of white koji, pleasantly redefines the image of sake as we know it, offering a taste that is a step ahead of the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouthfeel is remarkably light, with a sharp acidity, reminiscent of lemon or Japanese citrus, beautifully framing the soft sweetness derived from the rice. By using white koji, which is common in shochu production, we have achieved a crispy, modern dryness that feels completely unheavy. The finish is clean and swift, with an aftertaste that fades away, truly embodying \"stillness.\" This design of \"acidity\" makes it an incredibly high-potential sake for meals, as it effortlessly cuts through the richness of food. It's perfect for those who find the typical richness of sake a bit much, or who seek the lightness of a white wine. This is a bottle to pour into your glass when you want to unwind and relax at the end of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e【Flavor Profile】\u003cbr\u003eCitrus acidity \/ Transparency \/ Light, dry feel \/ Clean finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e【Product Information】\u003cbr\u003e・Brewery: Ishizuka Shuzo Co., Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e・Region: Niigata Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e・Rice Used: Gohyakumangoku and sticky rice from Takayanagi-machi, Kashiwazaki City, Niigata Prefecture\u003cbr\u003e・Rice Polishing Ratio: 65%\u003cbr\u003e・Alcohol Content: 16 degrees\u003cbr\u003e・Specific Classification: Junmai-shu\u003cbr\u003e・Preparation: White koji preparation\u003cbr\u003e・Yeast: TR8 (Niigata Research Institute yeast) (Lactic acid bacteria starter)\u003cbr\u003e・Genshu (undiluted) \/ Water Added: Water added\u003cbr\u003e・Nama (unpasteurized) \/ Hi-ire (pasteurized): Hi-ire\u003cbr\u003e・Unfiltered \/ Filtered: Unknown\u003cbr\u003e・Storage: Cool, dark place (refrigeration recommended after opening)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e【Recommended Serving】\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at 5-10°C.
