Product details
Chiyo Shinomine Chokara Muroka Nama Genshu is a vibrant, small-batch release from Chiyo Shinomine, a producer in Nara Prefecture celebrated for expressive, terroir-driven brewing. “Chokara,” meaning super dry, captures the bold personality of this unfiltered and unpasteurized expression, bottled in its pure, undiluted state to preserve maximum vitality. Crafted with a focus on clarity and structure, this release highlights precision fermentation and careful handling to retain freshness, natural effervescence, and layered complexity. The result is an energetic, food-friendly Japanese rice beverage that showcases Shinomine’s signature tension, brightness, and dynamic character.
On the nose, aromas of hay, sea salt, and freshly steamed rice unfold alongside hints of green grape and fresh garden herbs. A gentle spritz enlivens the palate, leading into crisp, bracing flavors with a distinctive dry spiciness. Subtle notes reminiscent of cola and allspice emerge on the finish, which is long, snappy, and refreshingly clean. Complex yet invigorating, this super dry release pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, sea bream crudo, and beef carpaccio, enhancing delicate flavors with its lively acidity and precise, mouthwatering finish.
