IN THE DAICHI SHICHI SAKE SERIES, "SONG" IS POSITIONED ONE LEVEL HIGHER THAN THE CLASSIC "MINAUMA GATE." IN ADDITION TO BEING BREWED USING THE TRADITIONAL "KIMOTO" METHOD, "SONG" ALSO USES THE "BAG HANGING" METHOD TO EXTRACT THE SAKE. THE SO-CALLED "BAG HANGING" INVOLVES PLACING THE MOROMI IN A CLOTH BAG AND USING NATURAL GRAVITY TO SEPARATE THE SAKE DROP BY DROP FROM THE LEES. SINCE NO EXTERNAL FORCE IS APPLIED, THE SAKE BODY IS MORE ELEGANT AND FULL-BODIED. THE SAKE OBTAINED BY THIS ANCIENT METHOD IS CALLED "SHIZUKU SAKE." THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF "SHIZUKU SAKE" IS COMPLEX, SO "SONG" IS SOLD IN LIMITED QUANTITIES EACH YEAR; THE 2021 BATCH WAS ONLY 7,176 BOTTLES.

POUR THE WINE INTO THE GLASS, AND THE AROMA IS A FAINT PEAR SWEETNESS AND FRESH WHITE FLORAL SCENT WITH A TOUCH OF CHEESE. THE WINE'S TEXTURE IS UNEXPECTEDLY DELICATE ON THE PALATE, WITH RICE FRAGRANCE SPREADING ALONG WITH A HINT OF ACIDITY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE WINE'S SENSATION SLIGHTLY OVERFLOWS. AFTER A MILD STIMULATION, THE WINE AROMA PERFECTLY LINGERS IN THE THROAT WITH PEAR AND FLORAL NOTES. "STRENGTH COEXISTS WITH BEAUTY," DAQI BELIEVES THAT THE IMAGE OF THIS WINE MATCHES THE GODS IN MYTHOLOGY, HENCE NAMING IT "ODE" AS AN OFFERING TO THE GODS IN HEAVEN.

THIS WINE PAIRS WONDERFULLY WITH HEARTY, FATTY MEAT DISHES AND IS EVEN EXCELLENT WITH BBQ FOODS. THE OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION ALSO INCLUDES PAIRING IT WITH SALT-GRILLED MACKEREL, GRILLED FLOUNDER, AND OTHER TYPES OF SEAFOOD DISHES.
