Tasting Notes

A special seasonal release from Asahi Shuzo (Kubota), the Seppou “Black” showcases the bold and traditional Yamahai brewing method within the refined framework of a Junmai Daiginjo. This versatile sake offers a dual personality: when served warm, it expands into richer, rounder textures with deep umami power; when served chilled, it sharpens into a crisp, elegant, and layered profile. The use of Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 50% lends finesse while allowing the Yamahai depth to shine through.

Overview

Crafted to embody both tradition and adaptability, Seppou Black invites exploration across temperatures. Served warm (nurukan to atsukan), it pairs beautifully with tempura, dumplings, fried chicken, and fried fish. Served chilled (8–12 °C), it excels alongside crudités with creamy dips, fresh salads, sashimi, or mild cheeses like goat’s milk gouda or cow’s milk cheddar. Its versatility makes it equally fitting for intimate winter gatherings or refreshing summer moments.
