Notes - Miyazaki Honten is located in Yokkaichi city which lies in the northern area of Mie Prefecture which benefits from clean subsoil water of the Suzuka Mountains. The water is used for brewing Miyanoyuki and as the water is natural, it is not always stable. Therefore, the brewery needs to adjust soaking time of the 🌾 and condition of the koji to make the best sake. Rounded and weighted on the palate with a slight bitter aftertaste with light acidity. Refreshing ginjo notes of fresh fruits on the nose in different layers of concentration. This sake was also awarded the gold prize at the 2018 Zenkoku Shinshu Kanpyokai (National New Sake Appraising and Evaluation Fair of National Research Institute of Brewing)

This sake was enjoyed over Japanese Tsukemono of Iburigakko with Brie and Hyoutan.
As the sake is on the sweeter side, it goes well with those seasoned Hyoutan and Brie making the taste more robust and rounded. This sake will also pair well with yakitori or a simple shoyu ramen or with food on the saltier spectrum. Definitely recommended to drink chilled to enjoy the ginjo notes.

Overall, this is an excellent sake. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
