{"product_id":"sake-gozenshu-kijoshu-hiire","title":"Gozenshu Kijoshu Hiire Saké - 720ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn sake brewing, each ingredient is divided into three and added separately in stages to create the starter mash that enables fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor kijoshu, 2\/3 water and 1\/3 sake are used. The addition of sake slows the action of the yeasts and therefore the breakdown of the rice sugars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a sake richer in sugar and with a rounder, softer mouthfeel. The more the proportion of water replaced by sake is reduced, the sweeter the final sake will be. The Tsuji house was able to brew a Gozenshu Kijoshu with a mellow sweetness and a clear mouthfeel typical of the Bodaimoto starter method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParadoxically, the goal was not to craft a dessert sake but a sake particularly well suited to being served with foie gras and game dishes. This Kijoshu was tried for the first time during the 2019–2020 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this brewing season, the tôji used cold-stored Bodaimoto junmaishu as a substitute for brewing water. This time, he used freshly pressed Bodaimoto junmaishu before brewing the Kijoshu, thus continuing the fresh nuances of the previous brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kijoshu has the capacity to age for the long term and could hold some very pleasant surprises after a few years of cellaring. The primary aroma is lactic, with yoghurt dominating over candied notes. The palate is opulent — caramel, tarte tatin, caramelised fruits — with a fresh acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TSUJI HONTEN Co.
