eight Powder Snow 直汲生原酒 薄濁酒

【eight Powder Snow · Direct-Bottled Nama Genshu · Lightly Cloudy】
Sept / Oct 2026

Developed by Hirose Sake Works and brewed by Inata Honten in Yonago, Tottori, Powder Snow draws on Inata Honten’s brewing techniques. Blending at the mash stage and collecting the sake without applied pressure create white-grape-like fruit impressions, gentle sweetness and rice umami, balanced by fresh acidity from white koji.

Fresh white-grape aromatics lead into an opening reminiscent of biting into a juicy grape. Fruit-like sweetness and fine bubbles unfold together, keeping the palate lively rather than heavy. Gentle sweetness and rice umami gradually fill the middle, while the body retains a clearly defined structure. White-koji acidity and a subtle bitter edge follow, drawing the sweeter flavours together into a fresh, cleanly outlined finish
