Tasting Notes: The clear mineral-rich water from Ibo River is used by Tatsuriki for both growing the rice used in the sake, the sake itself. The same river feeds into the Harima Nada sea where oysters prosper thanks to the nutrients provided by the Ibo River. This coastal area on the edge of Hyogo is known for their thriving oyster production. Honda Shoten has created an excellent sake to match with these famed oysters. The subtle banana aroma and sweetness of the sake rounds the following flavors of the oyster, and the delightful acid specific to Shinriki sake rice reveals a refreshing aftertaste.
