A smooth, clean ginjo in a striking ocean blue bottle. This special sake is made with premium Yamada Nishiki rice and mineral-rich deep sea water from a natural spring at the bottom of the North Pacific Ocean. The aroma is typically fragrant ginjo-ka sweetness which follows-though when tasted. A hint of bubblegum and fruits with light acidity makes this great with seafood.

In 3 words: Best Over Ice
Break the rules of traditional sake serving with Ice Breaker, the legendary summer release from Kyoto’s progressive Tamagawa Brewery. Masterminded by Philip Harper—the first non-Japanese toji (master brewer) in history—this unpasteurized (nama) and undiluted (genshu) masterpiece is intentionally crafted to be served over ice.
The nose on this seasonally released sake is a cool, complex collection of melon, pineapple, Muscat, and honey, underscored by nougat, toffee, and white chocolate aromas. Talk about a total flavour bomb. On the palate, this year's batch is exceptionally soft, smooth, rich, and velvety. Look for deep umami goodness, featuring layers of pear, milk chocolate, honeycomb, and toasted cashews before sliding into a surprisingly quick, clean finish.
Master Brewer Philip Harper notes that summer heat calls for a change in pace, recommending you drop a large ice cube directly into your glass. As the ice melts, the sake dynamically transforms, shifting from a powerful, concentrated powerhouse into a wonderfully mellow, refreshing, and beautifully rounded summer cooler.
Sommelier Note: This is the ultimate, bulletproof crowd-pleaser for casual dining. While it behaves like a soft red or a fat, unctuous white wine, its robust structural profile means it goes with absolutely anything. It is a spectacular match for informal summer fare—especially street food favourites like tacos, Summer classics such as burgers, grilled chicken and creamy potato salad.

A self-proclaimed "perfect Ginjo for meals’, this sake works great paired chilled with a cold starter (like prawn cocktail) before warming to room temperature to complement your main course (like risotto). The nose is a gentle mix of dried fruits, nutmeg and banana. To taste it’s a relatively light and dry sake with dried pineapple, soft umami and classic ginjo melon flavours.
