The Genkei is part of Fukucho's "Satake series", for which the brewery uses a cutting-edge rice miller that removes proteins and lipids while polishing the rice down to only 60 per cent, a procedure that would traditionally require a milling rate of 40 per cent. Therefore, the Satake milling allows the Hattansou rice to keep its natural flavour. The Genkei is full-bodied and refreshing. It has a fruity nose (pear, apple, pineapple) with a hint of gentle sweetness. It has a pleasant crispness and is slightly effervescent, like most Fukucho sake. Clean finish with a sour tingle.
