The tips of this Ippon

Mui comes from the phrase of Laozi. The meaning is to make Japanese Sake naturally as possible. To brew this Japanese Sake, they only use the low agrichemical rice and apply special brewing process. In the later process of making Japanese Sake, all breweries press “Moromi”, unrefined Japanese Sake. It is common that they use compressor to press “Moromi”. However, this Japanese Sake is not pressed. It is bagged and hung, and be waited for the drops dripping naturally. This way of pressing is called, “Shizuku-Dori". It allows breweries to make transparent tastes Japanese Sake. But it requires a lot of effort, so it is rare that they apply Shizuku-Dori to make for standard class Japanese Sake. This is the way for only high class Japanese Sake.
