In 3 words: Dry, silky and drinkable

Hailing from Miyagi Prefecture, Ichinokura’s signature dry sake was released in 1977 and continues to be a favourite. This multi-award-winning bottle is famously recognized at the International Wine Challenge for its exceptional value and classic profile. It is the gold standard of chokarakuchi  (super dry) sake - supremely clean, sharp, and refreshing, with very little residual sugar. This is a highly sought-after category for food pairings, known for cutting through richness and enhancing the umami of dishes.

The experience opens with a quiet, subtle nose featuring delicate hints of mint and light, earthy nuts. On the palate it breaks into a smooth wave of comforting umami, culminating in a bone-dry, ultra-crisp finish with a refreshing apple aftertaste.

Remarkably versatile, it shines whether served chilled to cut through rich dishes or gently warmed to expand its deep, savoury complexities.
