Shimane is located in the western part of Chugoku region in Honshu, Japan. The region is deemed to be the second most populated prefecture in Japan. Shimane has sub-tropical climate, characterized by cold, snowy, gloomy winters and warm, humid summers. Shimane is surrounded with mountainous terrains so rice farming is a major aspect of the region. Since rice farming is a major part of Shimane, it is considered to be the birthplace of sake in Japan.

The region has about 34 sake breweries. You can find a lot of sake production particularly in areas of Masuda, Yasugi, Oki Islands and Izumo Taisha.

Sake By Kysela has been a project in the making for three years now. In the end, we selected a Sake made from the famous Yamada Nishiki rice produced in the Southern Prefecture of Shimane. Flavorful, rich, and clean; this sake is best as an aperitif or with seafood like fluke, dover sole or halibut. Kanpai!!!

Wachau Riesling is dry and often defined by high levels of dry extract (due to a lengthy ripening period) and a pleasing freshness (due to dramatic temperature swings between day and night). Sedimentary soils of sand and stone give Kirchweg Riesling a dense mineral texture and fine fruity flavors.
Review:
Welcome to the dark side of Wachau dry riesling! Deep and delicately spicy nose that’s full of mystery. Incredible concentration and massive wet stone character on the very precise medium-bodied palate. Radical mineral energy and garden herb freshness at the enormously long and tightly-focused finish.
