Ippongi Daiginjo Shizuku Dai Ichi Gitai "The Ultimate Truth"

Beau Timken review coming soon!

From the brewery Ippongi Kubohonten Co.:

"Special mouthfeel that fades away as softly as a dream.”

This sake makes up a mere 10% of our Daiginjo, which we produce lovingly and with the greatest care. Experience the unique characteristics produced by the fukurozuri method, where the liquid sake emerges under the force of gravity alone.

The mash is poured into special 10 liter cotton bags which are then hung from poles, and we collect only the sake that drips out naturally under the force of gravity. This is by far the most delicate and labor intensive method of pressing sake. No pressure is applied, so only the purest and finest components pass through the cloth. This pressing method produces just 10% of the total yield.

The sake is so light, you can barely feel it on your tongue. Soft and supple with a graceful sweetness that vanishes before you realize it, it presents the drinker with an enchanting flavor profile. This sake allows you to fully experience our special mouthfeel that fades away as softly as a dream.
