Product details
Shichiken Onakaya Junmai Daiginjo Sake is a masterfully crafted expression from Yamanashi Meijo, a family-run brewery founded in 1750 and based in the mountainous Hakushu region of Japan. "Onakaya" is the historic trading name of the brewery, honoring generations of craftsmanship and legacy. Using soft, pristine underground water sourced from Mt. Kaikoma and the Southern Alps, this sake is brewed with exceptional attention to detail, employing the “Tobinkakoi” method to collect only the most delicate free-run drops. The rice is polished to 37%, creating a luxuriously refined junmai daiginjo that exemplifies the brand’s philosophy of elegance polished to perfection.
On the nose and palate, this sake offers a tender, soft texture with graceful notes of lychee, rose water, and chai, interwoven with hints of vine peach, white tea, and a gentle minerality. Its vibrant yet smooth finish is thirst-quenching and balanced, making it incredibly easy to enjoy. Best served chilled in a wine glass to capture its fragrant bouquet, Shichiken Onakaya pairs beautifully with light fare such as carpaccio, sashimi, or French-inspired appetizers. Whether savored on its own or as an elegant companion to a refined meal, this sake presents an effortless harmony of tradition, terroir, and taste.
