Koshi no Tsuru Ichi-Joh 21
Tasting Notes
While more of Tochio’s farmlands have been abandoned in recent years, Koshinotsuru Ichi-joh 21 is brewed in collaboration with local farms in hopes of preserving the beautiful vistas of Tochio’s terraced rice paddies for future generations. The name Ichi-joh (壱醸) comes from this product beginning (ichi 壱) from rice at the farm to being brewed (醸した) into sake at the brewery. This limited quantity sake is made from 100% Tochio-grown Koshitanrei sake rice that has been polished down to 21%. The rice requires over 100 hours of polishing to reach such a fine percentage. Ichi-joh 21 is extremely clean and clear, with a slender yet powerful presence. Aromas of soft powdery iris, tart pineapple, and pear float gently from this well-balanced sake. It has a soft, silky mouthfeel, pronounced umami and a crisp finish.
