Tasting Notes

“Crystal Flower” (六花) is a winter-only special release from Shindo Sake Brewery in Yamagata, bottled in a pure and unfiltered style to highlight clarity and seasonal freshness. Made exclusively with Dewanosato, a sake rice developed in Yamagata, it opens with a refined, gently aromatic profile marked by delicate florals and soft mineral tones. On the palate, it is clean, precise, and quietly expressive, offering subtle sweetness balanced by bright acidity and a finely etched texture. Light in body yet articulate in structure, the finish is crisp, graceful, and elegantly lingering.

Overview

This limited winter expression represents a carefully crafted interpretation of Gasanryu’s signature elegance. Brewed as a Junmai Ginjo and bottled muroka (unfiltered) with non-heated bottling, it preserves the sake’s natural purity, freshness, and aromatic detail. Best enjoyed well chilled, it delivers a poised, refreshing profile that pairs beautifully with refined, lightly seasoned cuisine. A seasonal release that emphasizes balance, transparency, and quiet depth.

Best Served: Chilled

Food Pairing: Light sashimi, steamed white fish, dashi-based dishes, delicate poultry, winter vegetables, and clean, subtly seasoned preparations.
