Masumi Arabashiri
It’s officially Springtime at The Sake Shop with the arrival of Masumi Arabashiri! Fresh off the boat from Miyasaka Shuzo in Nagano, Masumi Arabashiri “First Run” Junmai Ginjo is a seasonal sake made in the Spring.
When sake is pressed using a “fune” or wooden box, the pressed sake is usually divided into three batches. The first batch of sake that “runs off” before any pressure is applied to the press is known as “Arabashiri” or “First Run”. Masumi Arabashiri is also a Nama Genshu which means it’s unpasteurized and undiluted with water. Lively, fresh and enjoyably brash, stop by and pick up a bottle today!
