Product details
Jozen Kiwi Yurai Kobo Junmai is a bold and playful expression of innovation from Shirataki Sake Brewery, known for its flagship brand “Jozen Mizuno Gotoshi.” This unique sake is brewed with a proprietary yeast strain extracted from real kiwi fruit by Shirataki’s own research team, resulting in a one-of-a-kind fermentation process that pushes the boundaries of traditional sake-making. As part of the "by Jozen" series, this sake represents a new generation of easy-to-drink, low-alcohol (8.5%) sakes designed to be both accessible and adventurous. The eye-catching label, featuring a kiwi fruit and New Zealand’s iconic kiwi bird, hints at the playful and refreshing experience inside the bottle.
This Junmai sake offers a fruity aroma reminiscent of kiwi and a sweet-tart balance that dances across the palate with charming acidity and a clean, lightly sweet finish. Its juicy and approachable character makes it perfect for sake beginners or those seeking a gentle alcohol experience. Enjoy it as a dessert sake or get creative by serving it with slices of kiwi or pineapple for a sangria-style twist, or a sprig of mint for added visual and aromatic freshness. Ideal food pairings include light appetizers such as Italian salads with prosciutto or white fish carpaccio, where the sake’s bright acidity complements and lifts the flavors. Jozen Kiwi Yurai Kobo Junmai invites you to explore sake with a fresh, modern perspective—fun, flavorful, and full of possibilities.
