Product description

This sake has been developed to harmonize with the delicate flavors served in Alain Ducasse's restaurants around the world. In addition to the inherent deliciousness of Japanese sake, it has a slightly acidic taste that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. We are pursuing a new world standard for Japanese sake.

The main ingredient is "Mikoharamai," one of Japan's rarest and finest rice brands, and it is fermented using Nakamura Shuzo's original yeast. The result is a Japanese sake with a surprising exhilarating sensation.

Professional Review

"The aroma has a nutty and caramel-like fragrance, possibly due to the degree of rice polishing. As the temperature increases, a nostalgic scent reminiscent of ripe persimmons or steamed lotus roots emerges. The taste begins with a chewy texture of brown rice and cocoa, and in the middle, there is a refreshing sensation like Alexandria apples. The finish is incredibly long-lasting, resembling that of aged sake. I recommend serving it chilled. Adding warmth to the sake removes its simple and honest fragrance, making it feel distant."

Pairing Suggestion: Raw oysters, trout sushi, hiyamugi (chilled wheat noodles), fried chicken breast, and yomogi dango (mugwort-flavored rice dumplings)

"The aroma has a gentle mature scent as its keynote. It is harmonized with the fragrances of almond milk, chestnut from koji, mirin, and dairy products such as custard. Cinnamon and earthy scents are used as accents. The taste is sweet and gentle, with a moderate acidity that makes it beginner-friendly and easy to drink. The recommended temperature range is 15-45℃."

Pairing Suggestion: If drinking cold, try pairing it with bamboo shoots simmered in Kochi style or bouillabaisse. If drinking at room temperature, try pairing it with simmered conger eel, grilled yellowtail, or asparagus with abalone liver sauce.
