On the 28th, a brewery in Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, was engaged in digging up new sake that was stored and aged in the snow in order to utilize the harsh cold of the snowy country for delicious sake brewing.
Rokkasen, a 50-year-old brewing company in Higashine City, stores snow in the snow every year, using snow as a natural refrigerator. I have stored it.
On February 28, about 10 sake brewery staff dug out and used a shovel to destroy a snowy mountain that is still up to 3 meters high.
About 10 minutes after I started working, I arrived at a jar that had been laid in the snow and took out a total of 288 bottles.
By storing it in the snow, it will be finished in a smooth and gentle mouth, so Mr. Toji and others immediately drank sake and confirmed the workmanship of this year.
Shigekazu Matsuoka, president of the sake brewery, said, "This is a mellow texture of rice that retains the freshly squeezed squishy feel of new sake. Enjoy it with the deliciousness of spring, such as wild plants. If you could get it, "he said.
The new sake that has been dug out will be sold at liquor stores in Yamagata Prefecture from March 2nd.
