Niida Shizenshu Red Label

NIIDA HONKE follows the principle of “shizenshu” (“natural sake”) and brews “natural sake”. The rice is home-grown and of organic quality, polished as little as possible (85%) and fermented spontaneously, without the addition of yeast. It is brewed using the Kimoto method, which naturally produces heightened levels of lactic acid. The Red Label is lively and fresh, with aromas of yoghurt, honey, almonds, cooked rice, oats and pears. It is soft yet full-bodied on the palate with a finely integrated umami, an ideal accompaniment to fermented and strongly-flavored foods. When warmed, the sweetness and acidity come into their own even more.

The Producer

仁井田本家 Niida

Founded in 1711, the brewery specializes in "Shizenshu" ("natural sake"), brewed using the Kimoto method and spontaneous fermentation from pesticide-free rice. The brewery pursues the goal of self-sufficiency: sake rice is grown on its own land and fermented in large wooden barrels constructed from Sugi cedar trees from its own forest.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
