Sommelier's comment

It is an aged sake with a delicate taste that has a good balance of strong acidity and umami with a smooth feel to the mouth that does not feel like the strength of a 20 percent alcohol. Complex scents such as tropical fruits, roses and nutmeg spread abundantly.


Brewer: Kawashiri Sake Brewery

Founded 1839 Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture

Kawashiri Sake Brewery is a very unique brewery. Due to the very small production volume, it is difficult to distribute and can only be purchased at the local Hida Takayama. And the product specializes in aged sake. Kawajiri sake brewed by the old-fashioned method has a rough taste when it is new, and the true value of mellow sake appears only when it is aged for a long time.
