You feel the flavor of La France pear. When you drop it in your mouth, the sweetness and the fresh acidity spread in your mouth. The texture is smooth, but also really condensed. Some say it is like luxury vanilla ice-cream. The bitterness follows and it sharpens the taste. Umami comes as a finish. Umami and the flavor of La France pear last long. It is very comfortable.

One is “Denshu,” the other is “Kikuizumi.” “Kikuizumi” is the brand that they have been brewing since their foundation. It won gold prize many times in National Japanese Sake Contests. “Denshu” was born in 1974. It was their desire that they would brew stately Japanese Sake based on the Japanese Sake origin. It passed 3 years when they released a first bottle. Denshu is made from only rice. Although it was common to add brewing alcohol to brew Japanese Sake at that time, they stopped it. “Denshu” became very famous not only in Japan but also in other counties. The name of “Denshu” represents their brewing style. “Den” means rice paddy. “Shu” mean Sake. So, the name shows it was made from only what grows in rice paddy. This bottle, Utou, is not belonged to both lines. However, this bottle is one of the top flagships in this brewery. It was originally sold only in Aomori Prefecture. Now, only limited numbers are sold in other than Aomori. You must not miss a chance to buy when you find it.
