Product details
Ohmine Summer 3 Grain “Summer’s Arrival” is a seasonal Junmai Daiginjo sake from the revered Ohmine Shuzo of Yamaguchi Prefecture, where tradition meets innovation in every bottle. The brewery, originally founded in 1822 and revitalized in 2010 by passionate visionaries, brews its sake using pure Benten-well spring water—celebrated for its soft texture and rich minerals drawn from the karst landscape of Akiyoshidai. Crafted from 50 % polished Yamada Nishiki rice and fermented at a gentle 13 % ABV, this limited-release expresses the essence of summer—delicately capturing brightness, elegance, and the fleeting beauty of the season.
On the nose and palate, “Summer’s Arrival” unfolds with crisp fruit aromas—green apple, grapefruit, muscat, and Chardonnay-like notes—that evoke sunlit orchards and refreshing summer breezes . The initial sweet‑and‑sour impression is layered with a light, structured acidity and subtle mineral undertones, transitioning into a mid-palate richness with fruit-forward depth and a hint of pleasing bitterness reminiscent of summer fruits. Lightly chilled and served in a wine glass to enhance its delicate aromatics, it pairs exquisitely with refined, summery dishes like snapper carpaccio, briny oysters, and gently poêléed white fish—where its refreshing clarity and umami lift the flavors while cleansing the palate.
