Shichida

Tasting Notes

Shichida Junmai Ginjo Nama opens with an expressive and layered aromatic profile. Ripe papaya and mango lead the nose, followed by fig, a hint of white chocolate, and subtle exotic spice.

On the palate, it is supple and lively, with a gentle natural sweetness that rounds out the tropical fruit character without feeling heavy. Bright acidity keeps the profile lifted and focused, giving the sake energy and structure. As an unpasteurized release, it retains a vivid freshness and immediacy, delivering both depth and clarity. The finish is clean, balanced, and lingering, with fruit and spice notes gradually fading in harmony.

Overview

Crafted by Tenzan Sake Brewery in Saga Prefecture, this Junmai Ginjo Nama reflects the richer and more expressive side of the Shichida style. The combination of Yamada Nishiki and locally grown Saganohana rice contributes layered fruit depth and textural richness.

Because it is unpasteurized, the sake maintains a vivid freshness and aromatic intensity that makes it especially engaging when served well chilled. Its fruit-forward profile and structural balance make it a confident pairing with flavorful dishes.
