Tetsuya Sakai runs Chiyo Shuzo. The Shinomine range of sake from Chiyo is named after the Shinomine mountain range, not far from the brewery. Sakai-san's focus with the Shinomine range is to craft balanced and acid-driven sake that showcases the rice type along with the ability to age gracefully. The Moromi Nigori is directly bottled from the tank, only given a very coarse filter, and thus contains fermentation sediment, very fragrant notes of fresh fermentation. The palate is dry and textural with the slightest hint of spritz—an excellent aperitif.
