Macho Aiyama 80

The MACHO series challenges the idea that highly polished rice is essential for elegant sake. By brewing with rice polished to just 80%, Makino Shuzo demonstrates how careful brewing can reveal both richness and finesse. This expression features the rare Aiyama rice, prized for its naturally soft texture and refined sweetness.

Gentle aromas of raspberry, bubblegum, and banana lead into a rounded palate with creamy rice notes and subtle umami. A lively freshness and delicate natural spritz provide balance, resulting in a sake that is rich yet remarkably approachable.
