Tasting Notes

Brewed by Morishima Shuzo in Ibaraki Prefecture, this Junmai Daiginjo represents a new modern standard for the style. Crafted from heirloom Omachi rice polished to 40%, it reveals opulent fruity aromas of pear and apple, with subtle herbal undertones unique to Omachi. A lively freshness is retained through careful bottling, often showing a slight natural effervescence upon opening. With the brewery situated near the Pacific Ocean, faint notes of salinity weave into the fruity core, enhancing the sake’s balance and depth.

What does "25+" mean? A common misconception is that "25+" refers to the polishing ratio. In fact, it represents Brewmaster Shoichiro Morishima’s 25 years of relentless dedication to sake brewing. Crafted from 100% Omachi rice polished to 40%, this "Modern Classic" offers a subtle, lively effervescence upon opening. Brewed just 70 steps from the Pacific Ocean, it carries a faint, elegant salinity that makes it the ultimate pairing for premium seafood and caviar.

Overview

This sake reflects both tradition and resilience. The front label features an image of the Oya stone, a remnant of the original Morishima stone warehouse that collapsed during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Preserved by the brewery, the stone stands as a symbol of memory and hope for the future. Best served chilled (8–12 °C) in a wine glass, the Modern Classic pairs perfectly with rich seafood dishes such as fatty tuna, sea urchin, trout roe, and caviar, where its fruity elegance and minerality shine.
