Junmai Daiginjo Wataribune

七本槍 純米大吟醸

Wataribune rice is milled down to 50% and grown locally in Shiga. Using the prized Shiga Wataribune #6 rice, the aromatics are restrained on the nose but on the palate, there is great depth, power, and broad palate and layers of anise, and melon with rice umami notes, balanced acidity with some mineral notes on the finish. Superb

The Wataribune rice was once considered extinct but was revived in Shiga prefecture from just a handful of seeds found at the local agricultural research institute. This is now a highly prized sake rice in Shiga and is said to be the parent of the famous Yamadanishiki rice
