“Kairyu Jinsui” (海龍神水), meaning “Sea Dragon Divine Water,” evokes the imagery of depth, purity, and quiet power. Created as a once-a-year expression by Akabu Shuzo, the name reflects a sake defined by time, refinement, and clarity.

A refined, long-matured Junmai Daiginjo that balances depth with remarkable clarity. This annual special release opens with a composed, elegant aromatic profile, offering gentle fruit and subtle floral tones layered over a calm, polished structure. On the palate, the texture is supple and seamless, revealing quiet richness without heaviness. The ice-temperature maturation lends depth and roundness, while preserving freshness and precision. The finish is long, clean, and graceful, leaving a refined impression that reflects both maturity and balance.

Overview

Kairyu Jinsui is a once-a-year special bottling from Akabu Shuzo, crafted from their finest Junmai Daiginjo. After pressing, the sake undergoes “hinkan hiire” (bottle pasteurization), followed by extended ice-temperature maturation, allowing time to gently deepen flavor while maintaining clarity and elegance.

Best enjoyed well-chilled, this sake pairs beautifully with delicate seafood, refined seasonal cuisine, and lightly seasoned dishes, where its polished structure and layered depth enhance natural flavors without overshadowing them. Produced in extremely limited quantities, Kairyu Jinsui represents a contemplative, carefully aged expression within the AKABU portfolio.
