In 3 words: Delicate Fruit Silkiness
Toku Junmai Daiginjo is the brand’s debut release and features Yamadanishiki rice, polished to a refined 35%, koji and spring water from Hokkaido’s Daisetsuzan mountain range, all fermented in the region’s freezing conditions to produce a fine premium sake. Delicate, inviting aromas of honeydew melon and peach complemented by creamier notes of warm baked apples. On tasting it’s light, but wonderfully silken with a round mid-palate. Nuanced Ginjo flavours segue into a chalky palate reminiscent of Grand Cru Champagne. The finish is sumptuously long. Well-balanced acidity gives way to gentle spice, whilst subtle yet developed umami provides structure and weight.

This sake is an enigma. Brewed using the old yamahai method with Association. No. 7 yeast (discovered at Miyasaka Brewing in 1946), one might expect a rich punchy sake but no, something quite refined emerges from the glass, full of mineral notes and crispness, reminiscent of Pinot Grigio. High acidity helps to balance out the complex taste and leaves a refreshing clean finish. Recently the brew has been further upgraded by only using the finest middle part of the pressing (aka ‘Nakadori’) for even greater elegance.

In 3 words: Elusive, subtle & balanced
Delicately flavoured, astonishingly subtle, impeccably balanced, this legendary label is the despair of sake critics in Japan, who confess that its flavour is impossible to describe. This Daiginjo is brewed with Yamadanishiki rice milled to an eye-watering 30% then aged at 1°C for roughly two years, the brewers undoubtedly extract out the limits umami and depth of flavour.

Senshin translates to ‘Sophisticated Mind’, and it was surely a wise head that conceived such a special brew.

Brewed with the local Niigata rice "Takanenishiki" milled to 28%, the sake is aged slowly for an extended period until the peak of maturity for a divine, dynamic experience.

In 3 words: Rare and exceptional
Pretty rich yet delicate nose of lime chutney and fennel seeds. Pleasant and elegant acidity explode in the palate with the notes of yuzu and lemon curd. Completely different impression from the nose and the palate. It is quite complex sake yet smooth, pure and light. Skinny and long finish with a touch of cacao.
