Tasting Notes

An exquisite and rare expression of the brewer's art, this Daiginjo pours with remarkable clarity. It greets the senses with inviting, medium-intensity aromas of fresh pineapple, sweet strawberry, and muscat grape. On the palate, it delivers a rich yet elegantly balanced profile, featuring a bright, lively acidity reminiscent of fresh pineapple juice, harmoniously woven with delicate notes of coconut water. The finish offers a light, elegant dryness that is exceptionally clean and refreshing. It pairs beautifully with refined meat dishes, lightly grilled vegetables, and delicate appetizers.

Overview

Brewed by the highly esteemed Miyaizumi Meijo in Fukushima Prefecture, "Sharaku" is globally celebrated for its impeccable balance and fruit-forward elegance. This exceptional Daiginjo is crafted from premium Yamada Nishiki rice, polished to 40%. Its unparalleled purity is achieved through the painstaking "Shizukudori" method; rather than mechanically pressing the mash, the brewers place it in canvas bags and allow only the natural drops of sake to fall gently under gravity. This time-consuming, zero-pressure technique yields a highly limited, profoundly elegant sake with no harshness, capturing the absolute purest essence of the brew.

(Note: To preserve its delicate structure and pristine flavors, please store this sake refrigerated between 41°F and 50°F.)
