Tasting Notes

Radiating the warmth of a setting sun, "Tasogare" (Twilight) Orange is a beautifully vibrant and modern sake. It effortlessly balances the inviting aromas of warm baking spice with bright, zesty orange peel notes. On the palate, it delivers a deeply pleasant, refreshing acidity that elegantly coats the mouth, supported by a rich yet clean profile. Best enjoyed well-chilled in a wine glass, it has a unique flavor profile that makes it an incredibly versatile pairing for bold and spiced dishes, perfectly complementing elote, chicken satay, and rich saag paneer.

Overview

Located in Saga Prefecture, Koueigiku Shuzo is one of the most exciting "revival" breweries in the modern sake scene. After closing its doors in 2006, the brewery was famously resurrected in 2019 by passionate sake enthusiasts dedicated to crafting innovative, new-wave profiles. The "Tasogare" (Twilight) Orange perfectly embodies this bold vision. Brewed with Kitashizuku rice and bottled as a Muroka Nama Genshu (unfiltered, unpasteurized, and undiluted), it captures the raw, energetic essence of the brew straight from the tank. With an approachable 13% ABV, it is remarkably smooth and refreshing, offering a fruit-driven, high-acid experience that pushes the boundaries of traditional sake.

(Note: To preserve its vibrant freshness, this unpasteurized Nama sake must be kept refrigerated upon Arrival.)
