Shōtoku Hiyaoroshi Genshu (招德 秋の酒 ひやおろし原酒)

Shōtoku Hiyaoroshi Genshu (招德 秋の酒 ひやおろし原酒) is a junmai ginjō made from domestic rice milled to 60%. Hiyaoroshi denotes a seasonal sake, which was young and rough when pressed, and underwent one pasteurisation process. After maturing in the bottle over the summer, the flavour compounds in the sake are brought out, giving it a harmonious, gentle taste. This Junmai Ginjo Hiyaoroshi Genshu has a slightly dry, full and elegant taste. It should be enjoyed with the delicacies of autumn at any temperature, from cold to warm.

Shōtoku Brewery, founded in 1645 by the Kimura family, was initially located in Rakuchu (洛中), Kyōto, and was in the Taishō period moved to Fushimi, one of Japan's foremost sake areas renowned for its soft water. In 1943, four Fushimi breweries merged into Kyōei Shuzō (共栄酒造). Later, the company name was changed to Shōtoku Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. (招德酒造株式会社), the brand name brand the brewery uses to this day. Shōtoku has long believed that junmai sake is the true form of sake and has been brewing it since the 1960s. Nurtured by Kyōto's unique food culture and traditions, it has a mild aroma and soft taste and can be served warm or cold.

This hiyaoroshi has a sharp nose of alcohol, fungi and marzipan. It is slightly dry and spicy, with a mild sweetness mid-palate and a refreshing, sour finish—a very light and gentle autumn brew.
