Product details
Mitsutake Q Type F is a distinctive expression from Saga Prefecture that highlights innovation while honoring traditional craftsmanship. Part of the evolving Q series, this release is designed to capture the vibrant freshness of freshly pressed nama-style brewing. To preserve that just-made character, the liquid is stored in specialized KEG DRAFT barrels under vacuum-controlled and chilled conditions, preventing further fermentation and maintaining peak purity. Bottled only once a month directly from the draft system, each release reflects the dedication and precision behind Mitsutake’s philosophy. The minimalist label features a QR code that leads to a video sharing the maker’s story and process, intentionally leaving out technical specifications so that the experience is guided purely by aroma, texture, and flavor rather than preconceived expectations.
On the nose, Mitsutake Q Type F reveals a bright and expressive aromatic profile with elegant fruit notes that feel fresh and lively. The palate is clean and vibrant, offering layers of delicate sweetness balanced by a gentle savory depth that gives the texture richness and roundness. Subtle fruit tones mingle with a smooth, silky mouthfeel, creating a harmonious and refreshing drinking experience. The finish is crisp, refined, and pleasantly lingering, leaving a light impression of fruit and umami that makes it exceptionally versatile alongside dishes such as salmon sashimi, raw oysters with grated daikon and ponzu, or fresh crab.
