Soto
Soto Junmai Daiginjo Sake 15.5% 72cl
The quality of Sake is dependent on the amount of polishing given to each grain of rice - it is the pure starch in the middle of each grain that produces the flavour, so the more of the unwanted outer layers that can be polished off, the higher quality sake can be brewed as a result.
It takes about 50 hours to polish 50% of rice, so it's a time conusming and costly process. Rice is graded depending on the amount that is polished - from 0% to 70% of it's original size.
Named after the Japanese word for 'outside', Soto uses 50% polished rice with no added alcohol to the fementing mash - the Honjozo technique of adding alcohol adds a drier feel, whereas Junmai tends to have a fuller flavour. In this case, we have a fresh, clean but silky profile, with hints of apple, peach and citrus zest.
It's delicately refreshing lightly chilled - but don't chill too much or you'll lose the refined nature of the drink. 30 minutes before serving will do fine.
