清酒

'En' has a hint of sweetness and rice driven umami, with a short crisp finish of a nashi pear crunch. For optimum terroir expression, along with the local rice an indigenous Miyagi yeast strain is used with soft water sourced from water flowing from popular ski-resort mountain Izumigatake for a very Miyagi inspired representation.

This 35% polished Junmai Daiginjo has been matured under -5 degree Celsius for 3 years. It is a medium to full bodied sake with intense and complex favours of rice and fruit and balanced with rich umami. This below zero degree aged sake is far more refined and mellowed than one that is freshly brewed, but because of the low temperature, it retains its youthful charm and pureness. Packaged in a beautiful limited-edition red-and-gold droplet bottle including a gift box, this is an experience not to be missed. This is ideally enjoyed slight chilled, with more intense favoured richer sashimi or even wagyu shabu shabu.

Enjoy this summer sake chilled or with ice, for a delightful combination of refreshing aroma, and a crisp finish. It has a spicy, refreshing, summer-style light taste with fresh and refreshing aroma.

The goal was to achieve the true essence of freshly harvested Hitomebore rice from Sendai in this lovely rich brew. The resulting sake is bursting with rice flavour, full of umami and round on the pallet.

juicy acidity bursting forth with exuberant tropical notes, culminating to a restrained, sharap finish. as the artwork depicts, a free-spirited & fun adventure awaits!
