"Karakuchi 80" - Kirei Shuzō
720ml & 1.8L Junmai
The Japanese word ‘kara’ means dry and the sake name ‘karakuchi’ means this sake is an extra dry style. The '80' represents the rice polishing rate, with 80% of the grain remaining. This low polishing leaves great flavours from the fats, proteins and amino acids in the rice and creates a richer palate weight.
'Karakuchi 80' has a rich textural palate with dry minerality and an intensely spice-laden mid-palate of liquorice and pear.
This sake is unpasteurised (namazake), undiluted (genshu) and non-charcoal filtered (muroka).
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 80%
Brewery Location: Hiroshima
Alcohol: 17.6% vol.
