Product details
Shichiken Furinbizan Junmai Sake is a refined expression of Yamanashi Meijo's centuries-old brewing heritage, nestled in the pristine Hakushu region of Yamanashi Prefecture. Founded in 1750, the brewery draws inspiration from the natural beauty of Mount Kaikoma, utilizing its pure subterranean waters to craft sakes that embody the harmony between nature and tradition. The name "Furinbizan" pays homage to this majestic mountain, reflecting the serene and invigorating qualities of the surrounding landscape. Employing a unique fermentation technique characterized by extended, low-temperature processes, Yamanashi Meijo produces sakes with exceptional clarity and depth, capturing the essence of their environment.
This Junmai sake presents a delicate balance of flavors, offering subtle aromas of sweet oats and nectarines. On the palate, it is off-dry with refreshing acidity and a rich umami profile that unfolds with notes of oats and nuts, culminating in a clean, dry finish. Versatile in its serving temperature, Furinbizan Junmai can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, each revealing different facets of its character. It pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, including yakitori, sautéed foods, roast chicken, and sardines, enhancing the dining experience with its nuanced flavors.
