{"product_id":"zaku-isenishiki-etude-japon","title":"Zaku - Saké Isenishiki Étude","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from Mie Prefecture in the heart of Japan, this sake is born in an environment where winters are cool, summers are hot and humid, and the surrounding mountains provide abundant, pure water. The rice used for this brew is cultivated in paddies that benefit from a significant temperature difference between day and night, ideal for the slow maturation of the grains. These natural conditions result in a concentrated raw material, both rich in starch and balanced, perfect for crafting a Junmai Daiginjo of exceptional aromatic precision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Junmai Daiginjo is made from specially selected rice, polished to a very high degree to retain only the purest core of the grain. The rice is thoroughly washed, soaked, and then steamed before being inoculated with koji, which transforms the starch into fermentable sugars. Fermentation takes place at a low temperature, under meticulous control, without the addition of alcohol, to preserve the delicate aromas and the transparency of the texture. After fermentation, the sake is carefully pressed and then aged to harmonize its structure and aromatic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis sake reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003egreen apple\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003edelicate melon\u003c\/strong\u003e , supported by hints of \u003cstrong\u003ecooked rice\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elight hazelnut\u003c\/strong\u003e that add depth and complexity.
