Product details
Seiryo Zen "Turf" Tokubetsu Junmai is a U.S.-exclusive release from Seiryo Shuzo in Ehime Prefecture, crafted under the “Zen” label to capture the serene spirit and natural beauty of the brewer’s hometown across the seasons. The character “然 (Zen)” means “as it is” or “in its natural state,” and this philosophy guides every step of production—from using locally sourced ingredients to small-batch brewing that preserves the sake’s authentic expression. Rice polished to 60% and soft, clear mountain water from Ishizuchi come together through slow, winter fermentation to create a sake that is gentle yet powerful, vibrant yet balanced. This bottle is a heartfelt message from Seiryo Shuzo to the world—a tribute to their beloved homeland, lovingly sealed in each drop.
On the palate, Seiryo Zen Turf reveals vibrant notes of orange and citrus, entwined with a gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity. Delicate umami spreads smoothly across the tongue, giving this sake both nuance and presence. It is remarkably versatile at the table—pairing especially well with dishes that have volume and depth, such as grilled steak, roasted lamb, and charred seasonal vegetables. Its soft yet powerful profile makes it a “万能酒” (all-purpose sake), designed to bring a smile to anyone who tastes it—whether they’re savoring a hearty meal or simply enjoying a quiet moment.
