Product description

For our 97th year of sake brewing, we have carefully handcrafted our sake without relying on machines. We washed the rice in 10 kg units and each bottle was filled and labeled by hand. With the image of our fans' smiles in mind, we brewed this pure rice daiginjo sake using "Yamada Nishiki," the king of sake brewing rice.

    Required in units of 6 bottles (multiples of 6) per brewery

Professional Review

"It has a healthy sweetness, as if it has been dried in the sun, with green bamboo, yellow apple and a line of yeast through the body. As the temperature rises a little, aromatic nuances like chrysanthemum flowers are also visible and hidden. The rich rice flavour and the main stream of flavour continues to the end, but thanks to its moderate sharpness, this sake is easy to drink before or during a meal, regardless of the situation. Cold sake is recommended."

Pairing Suggestion: Aged tofu, yellowtail and kanpachi sashimi.

"It has a predominant aroma of banana and yellow apples, with harmonious notes of pineapple, mandarin oranges, subtle hints of asparagus and self-heal herb's green notes, a sea breeze-like iodine fragrance, mineral undertones, and a matured sesame-like scent. The taste is smooth and mellow, with a delightful aroma that spreads and a seamless, smooth development in the mouth. It is recommended to serve at a temperature range of 10 to 15°C, in a smaller Burgundy glass or a ceramic ochoko cup."

Pairing Suggestion: White asparagus with mousseline sauce.
