Ohmine Summer’s Arrival

Tasting Notes

Ohmine Summer’s Arrival is a limited-edition seasonal release brewed only once a year. Its delicate aroma opens gently, offering a refreshing impression reminiscent of apples and grapefruits. On the palate, it delivers a light, structured acidity that harmonizes with sweet and sour notes similar to muscat and Chardonnay. Mid-palate, the flavor evolves into a fruit-driven richness with a touch of pleasant bitterness, evoking the vibrant freshness of summer fruit at its peak.

This sake is beautifully presented with a nostalgic mermaid-themed label designed by illustrator Tanaka Misaki, whose work adds a whimsical and fleeting charm to this once-a-year release.

Overview

Best enjoyed chilled in a wine glass to bring out its refined aromatics and lively acidity. Ideal for pairing with delicate, umami-rich dishes such as snapper carpaccio, oysters, or white fish poêlé.
