{"title":"Shuzokotekimai (Brewing rice)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile much of Sunflower's sake is categorized into specific rice collections (ex. Yamadanishiki, Omachi), Shuzokotekimai is the general term for sake rice and refers to any sake made from a \u003cem\u003eregistered\u003c\/em\u003e sake rice variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShuzokotekimai has been bred or developed specifically for sake brewing, and is officially registered as such in Japan. Breeding is either manual, as in cross-pollination, or irradiation, as in Miyamanishiki. To be specialized for sake brewing, Shuzokotekimai is typically high in starch, low in protein, and with large grains. It isn't considered palatable for eating at the table, because it lacks the protein and minerals that would make it delicious to eat plain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShuzokotekimai, sake rice, has become a focus of regional and prefectural research centers seeking to differentiate local sake in a competitive market. For example when a sake is made with Aomori Hanafubuki rice, that is affirming for Aomori farmers and brewers alike. They can decide who gets their rice and where it is grown, perhaps limiting the growing area to the prefecture alone. Taking this a step further, some regions have developed official GI (Geographic Indications) for their sake, incorporating local rice in the definition of the GI (ex. Yamagata GI: Dewasansan rice). This is one step in the long process of breweries developing a unique identity in the eras following WW2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dewazakura-isumi-judan","title":"Dewazakura Ginjo Genshu Okarakuchi \"Izumi Judan - Tenth Degree\"","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA martini-lover’s sake: dry and clear with aromatics reminiscent of Tanqueray.

And although it's the smallest prefecture in Japan, Kagawa is also the only place where olives are grown, thanks to the protected climate and relative dryness (depending on the year we draw data, either the least rainfall or third to least). The Mission olive was introduced ~50 years ago and is now influencing all aspects of local culture: olive wagyu, olive hamachi, sashimi and crudo with local olive oil. It's becoming part of the identity of Kagawa and they are continually innovating its use and integrating olives with the local culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this sake Kawatsuru uses a hyper-local rice, sanuki yoimai.

Low temperatures encourage ginjo aromatics, and the right amount of acidity is necessary to balance its relatively weak fermentation power and residual sweetness.

This \"design\" started because he bottle enough of the namagenshu to bother printing special labels, so he just wrapped them in the local newspaper instead. This has the added benefit of protecting the sake from light, which really does ruin sake very quickly, thus allowing the sake to age gracefully. Newspaper wrapping has since been imitated by other breweries but Chouchin is the original. This bottling is “Hattan Nishiki 5055,” using Hyogo Yamadanishiki rice for the koji and Hiroshima Hattan for the remainder. This is a style and control-driven choice, as Hyogo Yamadanishiki is, among all rice in the world, the most predictable and optimal choice for koji: the primary style determinant and engine of sake. Even though koji is only 20% of the total brew, this choice allows the koji to be perfect each time…exactly how Kuwayama-san wants it. Thus, the Hattan-Nishiki dissolves and breaks down with the just-right composition and release of enzymes, thanks to the ‘perfect’ Yamadanishiki engine. There is no one right way to brew, but this choice suggests that the toji believes that optimizing the koji results in a more delicious expression than 100% Hattan Nishiki. I can hardly complain…the result is phenomenal and side by side with his 100% Yamada brews, the difference is obvious. The Hattan gives it so much cocoa-like texture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Karla,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Karla,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FIFTH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44702713381020,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4075\/9964\/files\/Chochin_5055.png?v=1736738949"},{"product_id":"kirei-92-junmai-muroka-nama-genshu","title":"Kirei 92 Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu","description":"","brand":"FIFTH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44883057148060,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4075\/9964\/files\/92.png?v=1743620218"},{"product_id":"hanatomoe-junmai-muroka-nama-genshu-natural-selection","title":"Miyoshino Jozo Natural Selection Mizumoto Junmai MNG Winter 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the maker of Hanatomoe, Hashimoto-san's terroir brand: a sake that can only be made in Yoshino. \u003cem\u003eWhat happens when we make sake in Yoshino with as little intervention as possible?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDried apricots and aged cheese.

I get notes of maduros (fried sweet plantains), Tahitian vanilla, Portuguese egg tarts, and short bread. Gently warmed, the dim sum dessert cart vibes give way to a gentle, dashi-like umami. A food sake, if I ever met one. I look forward to bringing it out for this year's nabes and odens. -Molly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COHO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45260770476188,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4075\/9964\/files\/TsukinoKatsura88IwaiJunmai.png?v=1757098780"},{"product_id":"nabeshima-tokubetsu-junmai","title":"Nabeshima Tokubetsu Junmai","description":"","brand":"RNDC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45348793548956,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4075\/9964\/files\/Screenshot2025-10-09at4.52.18PM.png?v=1760054067"},{"product_id":"jinyu-junmai-ginjo-100-poems","title":"Jinyu Junmai Ginjo \"100 Poems\"","description":"","brand":"COHO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45350847316124,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4075\/9964\/files\/Screenshot2025-10-23at4.11.09PM.png?v=1761261120"},{"product_id":"shichiken-furinbizan-junmai","title":"Shichiken Furinbizan Junmai","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the nose I get cured lemon peel, green apple, muscat gummy candy and nectarine preserves. This brightness gives way to an impactful, rice-y, rich umami that spreads across the palette then softly fades.  Notes of buttered whole grain toast, congee, and green almond come through stark on a sake that feels so soft on the tongue.

Made with Tsuyuhakaze rice, which many of you will know from Kaze no Mori's 807 Black Label, this is a totally different expression of the same rice.
