SHIRO, meaning white, is Masumi's session sake, light enough to enjoy all night. It takes its name from a soft white cloth made from tree bark that shares the same light and buoyant character.
Mild aromas of banana and apple lead into a palate that is gently sweet, brightened by acidity and carried by lingering savoury umami. At just 12% ABV it is unusually easy to keep pouring, and the 55% remaining polishing rate keeps it refined rather than rustic.
It is brewed from rice, water, koji and yeast, using Miyama Nishiki from Nagano and Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo, with the brewery's own Masumi No. 7 yeast, in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture.
Serve it chilled. It pairs well with fresh greens, salads with citrus accents, grilled shrimp and chicken, and dairy and cheese dishes, which makes it an easy sake to put on a Western table.
