Izumo Fuji “Shimane Local” greets you with the welcoming aroma of white, spring flowers, which compliments the gentle rice flavor. Ancient tradition is strong with this brew as it uses a fune press which takes days of careful and skillful labor, but results in a soft, smooth sake. After a first taste you might find notes of melon and white pepper that give this sake a slight zing.
Izumo Fuji is brewed in Shimane Prefecture in the Chugoku region.
