Kikusui Shuzo Junmai Sake 720ml

Kikusui Junmai Sake — Niigata, Japan

Named after a Noh theatre play in which eternal life could be gained by drinking the dew from chrysanthemum petals, Kikusui has carried 130 years of brewing heritage into every bottle. Founded in Niigata Prefecture — Japan’s most celebrated rice-growing region — and home to the Kikusui Sake Research Institute since 2004, this is a brewery that takes its craft seriously.

The Junmai is the purest expression of the brewer’s art: made exclusively from 100% Niigata rice and water, with no added distilled alcohol. The result is a sake of earthy elegance and savory depth — the definitive food sake.

• Aromas: Subdued and earthy — steamed rice, bamboo, dried straw, and a whisper of honeydew melon
• Palate: Medium-bodied and smooth, with roasted nuts, umami-rich grains, and a touch of mineral
• Finish: Crisp and bone-dry — cleanses the palate instantly
