An original product of Kojiya Sanshiro Shuho, a sake store in Ginza
A special limited release of Koshi's highest junmai daiginjo with alcohol reduced to 13%.
A special gem with a low alcohol content and a light, yet robust and thick flavor.
A junmai daiginjo-shu with a gorgeous aroma and a good bitter flavor that wraps around the palate, with a refreshing finish.
Agreed on the impression that the sake is like a gentle light, reminiscent of a beautiful spring day. ☺️
The rice, which requires delicate handling, is treated with the same care as in the sake competition and fermented at an ultra-low temperature.
The piquancy characteristic of unfiltered unpasteurized sake was a little weak, but this may have been due to the timing of opening the bottle.
A gorgeous aroma reminiscent of pineapple.
Light and refreshing, with a good sharpness.
Smooth!
Beautiful bottle!
It has a refreshing ginjo aroma, a rough-running, bouncy mouthfeel, and a fresh finish with a gassy feel.
We had it served at our request for a fresh, piquant one!
The name "Ichidrop Senzan" is derived from the Zen phrase "一雨潤千山", which means "one rainfall, one thousand mountains".
It is said that the name "ICHIDARUSHI SENZAN" comes from a Zen phrase "一雨潤千山", which means "one drop of rain can enrich many mountains and people".
It is said that the exquisite bitterness of the sake makes it a good match with meals, but I have not mastered it yet, so I did not understand it.
A limited-quantity product brewed with Association 1401 yeast from "Comet" rice suitable for sake brewing produced in Hokkaido, and bottled raw "Arahashiri" only.
Purchased after being told to be careful when opening the bottle as it is fire-extinguished but fizzy.
The subtle sweetness reminds me of the taste of rice!
The taste is not blurred even when combined with soy sauce, which is essential for sashimi, making it a perfect sake for a meal.
A very limited edition sake that is squeezed to coincide with March 3 and labeled and shipped immediately after bottling.
Sold as a set of two bottles, one to enjoy the fresh taste and the other to enjoy the changes in taste by refrigerating and aging.
Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate from Kusumi Shuzo, which revived the phantom sake rice "Kame no O".
It is characterized by a refreshing acidity and a clean throat. The sweetness is not exaggerated and goes well with both Western and Japanese food.
The brewery was established by Naohiko Noguchi, nicknamed the "God of Sake Brewing," as the culmination of more than 70 years of sake brewing. The aroma is fresh and sweet, with a hint of green melon and lily flower. The friendly, gentle and soft mouthfeel is enhanced by the fruity flavor from the mid-palate, and the acidic aftertaste provides a long, enjoyable aftertaste.
I wanted to drink it after watching the documentary film "NOGUCHI - God of Sake Brewing" on Netflix, which closely follows the sake brewing process of Naohiko Noguchi!
Founded in 1922 in Minamiuonuma, Niigata. With abundant water and carefully selected sake rice from a region with heavy snowfall, the company has continued to make top-quality sake with the utmost care and attention to human needs. Taking advantage of the natural power of this region, which has one of the heaviest snowfalls in Japan, the sake is matured for eight years in the "snow chamber," a low-temperature storage cellar filled with 1,000 tons of snow. The sake is aged at a low temperature of around 3 degrees Celsius for a long period of time to preserve its light flavor and smooth, elegant taste.
The sake is slowly fermented at low temperatures during the harsh winter season, which is the most suitable time for sake brewing. It is light, crisp, and dry, yet the flavor of the rice spreads generously.
We had it at a restaurant in Harajuku.
The rice flavor, fullness, and mild aroma with a slight dryness are refreshing!
This sake is only available at authorized stores.
Yukitsubaki Sake Brewery was founded in 1806 and has a history of over 200 years.
