Milled to 50%, this sake was originally tasted at the annual Sake Day in San Francisco and has been in demand ever since. Produced by the Kobayashi family on Niigata by toji master Kenji Fujii who has been making sake for more than four decades at the Musashino Shuzo. The rice used in Heaven and Earth is Koshi Tanrei. Grown only in Niigata, the Niigata Sake Institue spent 15 years developing the varietal. Heaven and Earth is one of the first Koshi Tanrei based sakes to be made commercially available in Japan and was launced in 2011. Made with 100% soft water sourced from natural spring water from the Maki district of Niigata, this sake has sweet and savory notes of chestnuts, is texturally pleasing, and subtley aromatic. This is more of a powerhouse sake fit for more substantial meals like fettucini alfredo or a cream based soup. (Melissa Lavrinc Smith, K&L Sake Buyer)
