Product details
Seiryo Zen Surf Tokubetsu Junmai is the seaside expression from Seiryo Shuzo, a boutique brewery nestled in Ehime Prefecture, where the “Zen” series is crafted to reflect the harmony between nature and local culture. Seiryo Shuzo emphasizes small-batch production with rice polished down to a precise 60% seimaibuai, using soft mountain spring water sourced from Ishizuchi. The brewery’s philosophy is captured in the kanji “然 (Zen),” meaning “as it is”—celebrating purity of ingredients, minimalist intervention, and honoring the land through every step of brewing.
Tasting with purpose for seafood, the Surf iteration is lighter-bodied and delicately framed, with a clean 14.5% ABV, mildly dry at SMV +2 and moderate acidity (1.5), giving it bright, fresh energy. On the nose and palate, expect gentle citrus accents—think yuzu or lemon—with a tide of umami that evokes the ocean's essence, balanced by a light backbone ensuring a clean, refreshing finish . This sake shines alongside delicate seafood preparations—such as sashimi, steamed clams, halibut ceviche, oyster dishes—and is versatile enough for tempura, sushi, and even lightly seasoned river-caught fish. Its brightness also complements creamy bisques or chilled vegetable preparations, making it a deliciously approachable companion to any ocean-inspired meal.
