Product will be shipped in 5 working days.Most aged sake (koshu) is sweet but this is bone dry from the nutrient rich fermentation. There’s nice acidity even on the nose. Look for salted key lime pie amid the caramel and nuts. The palate features complex amino acids from the cold lactic fermentation (Kimoto). Adding to the fun is cult Aramasa yeast #6 and 7 years aging in 1800ml bottles. On the dry finish you can really taste the ocean water. Iwanoi 7 Year Kimoto Junmai Koshu should be served just below or above room temperature with yakitori, goose, sturgeon nitsuke, mackerel, salted nuts, dark chocolate. -

Product will be shipped in 5 working days.Located at the foot of Mt. Kakuda in the Echigo Plain, Mine no Hakubai has over 400 years of history. Instead of the classic Niigata style of dry and short, they aim to create a “new” sake, centered on aroma, mellowness and deliciousness. A proprietary yeast lends herbs and acidity. While this is polished to 60% and using Yamagata rice, it’s more fascinating than your typical Ginjo. The nose is freshly expressed lemon skin oils. So fragrant! Then the herbs take over before it finally finishes with drying minerals. -

he only Sakagura/Sake Brewery in Kochi City (named after alias of Yamauchi Yōdō, who was a Japanese Daimyo of the Shikoku region in the Edo period). They hope to make sake that is the best to pair with food - sake that is dry, yet with high acidity and umami - using the isolated Tosa Mountain range's pure spring water. This water contains no iron or manganese, which are detrimental elements in sake. The brewery is also quite particular about their ingredients - the rice is polished very carefully, and they use true Kumamoto Yeast. A reserved aroma, gentle rice notes, perfect acidity and a fine finish combine to create the unique flavor profile of Suigei Tokubetsu Junmai. -

Aged for 2 years in bottle before release to allow the flavors to mellow and harmonize. It has notes of honey, almonds, and vanilla lead to a balanced palate. The sweetness and acidity give this Sake body and depth, which make it the perfect match for rich cuisines like grilled mackerel, miso marinated pork loin, or spicy hot pot. -

The Tomita’s named their sake Shichi Hon Yari, or “Seven Spearsmen,” after the leaders of the historic Battle of Shizugatake which was fought just outside their town of Kinomoto.
