Shizuku" means "drops," because the sake is not pressed, but rather allowed to drip out of cloth bags filled with the finished brew. Only the middle portion is bottled for sale. Shizuku daiginjos are soft, layered, and ethereal. This is a junmai daiginjo but maintains the Shichi Hon Yari style, which is earthy, dry, and bright. Ethereal and delicate in keeping with the shizuku (free run) method, but showing Shichi Hon Yari's style with toasty notes of brown butter.
