Morimoto Brewery and its owner/master brewer Mr. Hitoshi Morimoto in Kikugawa City have always been a great favourite of mine for the maverick approach to sake brewing.
The other day, Nagashima Saketen called me again to mention an interesting arrival. I did not hesitate!
I found myself holding a bottle with no label, just a small « tag » and the usual information on a white sticker!
Melinda would love it, considering this a very similar sake to the one I sent her for the first time last year!

Rice milled down to 65%
