About this SPIRIT
Hayashi Honten Brewery
Rice
Alcoholic beverages made from rice, are based on the fermentation of rice starch which converts to natural sugars and alcohol. Unlike the production of beer which utilises mashing to convert starch to sugars, the rice beverage making relies on action of acids or enzymes like amylase.
Rice-based beverages typically have a higher alcohol content, 18%–25% abv, than still wine (9%–15%), and a higher alcohol content than the standard beers (usually 4%–6%).
Sake (a Japanese rice-based brewed alcohol) is misleadingly referred to as Rice Wine, although unlike wine, in which alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar that is naturally present in grapes, sake is produced by means of a brewing process more akin to beer.

Description
Rich, umami aromas signal that this is a Sake of the more savoury style – dry and clean but well – rounded and creamy on the palate with an intensity of flavour that would make it suitable for serving warm with meat dishes, though it also works well chilled as a match for flavourful fish dishes or ripe cheese.
