Rihaku Shuzo Dance Of Discovery Junmai 720 ML

Textured and layered, smoky and sweet, with a cleansing acidity at the end. Simply constructed rice notes with malt-like flavor, and dry on the finish thanks to the prominent acidity.\n \n Distillery Information\n Rihaku Shuzo was founded in 1882 in Matsue City in Shimane, although it was not until 1928 that we adopted the name Rihaku. Rihaku was a famous poet in China, and is also known in English as Li Po. Rihaku lived from 701 to 762, and was known for his fondness for the bottle. He was a kind, open-minded, wandering poet that was famous for drinking a lot before writing. He was known to have said, "I drink a bottle, and can write 100 poems." We make use of Rihaku's poems and phrases in our brochures and on our labels, and quote him often. Several of our sakes are named with phrases from the great poet's words.
