Burst of sweetness with refined finish

Sake fermentation usually occurs in three stages. While this brewery’s Yuki no Mayu brand is known for its atypical one-step brewing method (“ichidan jikomi”), Mizen sake is made with a two-step method (“nidan jikomi”). This gives Mizen sweetness and acidity, but with a cleaner, more refined finish. This sake won the Grand Prix at the 2023 Monaco Sake Awards, as well as the award for best pairing with foie gras.
