Product details
Jozen On The Rocks Junmai is a refreshingly sweet and delightfully tangy sake crafted by Shirataki Sake Brewery, located in the pristine Echigo-Yuzawa region of Niigata, Japan. This unique junmai sake is part of the new "by Jozen" series, an innovative offshoot of the iconic Jozen Mizunogotoshi brand. Designed specifically to be enjoyed over ice, Jozen On The Rocks redefines the sake experience with a lower alcohol content and a juicy, fruit-forward flavor profile. Brewed exclusively from rice and rice koji, it showcases Shirataki’s longstanding dedication to using pure, local ingredients and centuries-old craftsmanship, now with a bold and modern twist.
The flavor is distinctly sweet—reminiscent of fresh fruits like melon and pear—but balanced by a vibrant acidity that keeps it crisp and invigorating. Its gentle mouthfeel and light, pleasant intoxication make it a perfect choice for sake newcomers or those seeking a more accessible, easy-drinking option. Jozen On The Rocks Junmai pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, light appetizers, or fruit-based desserts, and also works wonderfully as an aperitif or dessert sake. With its bright, fruity freshness and clean finish, it offers a stylish and playful take on traditional sake drinking.
