Product details
Ichinokura Tokubetsu Junmai Sake is a testament to the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Founded in 1973 through the unification of four historic breweries in Miyagi Prefecture, Ichinokura—meaning "One Brewery"—has dedicated itself to crafting premium sake that reflects the region's rich heritage. Utilizing locally sourced rice varieties like Sasanishiki and Kura no Hana, and pristine underground water, the brewery emphasizes sustainable practices and meticulous craftsmanship. The result is a sake that embodies the essence of Miyagi's terroir, offering a refined and authentic experience.
This Tokubetsu Junmai sake boasts a 60% rice polishing ratio, delivering a light and smooth profile. Its aroma presents notes of dry grain and steamed rice, complemented by a subtle mineral touch. The flavor is refreshing and dry, with a well-rounded taste that evolves with temperature: when chilled, it offers a clean, sharp aftertaste; at room temperature, a hearty rice aroma emerges; and when warmed, it reveals a rich taste with balanced acidity and sweetness. This versatility makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, particularly sashimi and tempura, enhancing the dining experience with its adaptable character.
