Shizenshu literally translated from Japanese as ‘Natural Sake’ is the brand name for sake made from rice grown and harvested by Niida that has been cultivated with natural farming methods, free from pesticides and chemical fertilisers. In addition, the sake is made with Kimoto traditional starter technique, fermented by sake yeasts living in the walls of the brewery using a four stage preparation process to add maximum flavour to the sake. For Shizenshu the brewery uses medium hard water sourced from a well on the property and the sake fermentation takes place in large cedar wood (Kioke) tanks.

This Junmai Ginjo is an easy drinking style which has fruity aromas of muscat green grape, ripe melon and nashi pear. These flavours carry through on the medium sweet palate with the addition of honey and grapefruit acidity, lending a sweet sour complexity to the sake. There is a creamy texture and soft lingering flavours before a clear, sharp finish.
