Niseko Shuzo: Hokkaido's Legacy of Sake,

Established in 1916, Niseko Shuzo is a renowned sake brewery steeped in tradition and located in the heart of Hokkaido, Japan. We utilize pure snowmelt and mountain spring water to create undiluted sake known for its smooth, clean taste – a perfect match for Australian palates.

Australian drinkers often gravitate towards beverages with a lighter, crisper profile. This aligns with the "smooth, clean" character of many Japanese sakes, especially those from cooler regions like Hokkaido.

Aroma: Stones fruits, ripe banana, perfumy, pear, vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb, light coffee.

Taste: Drinkable and well-balanced with light-bodied. Suggests the style of the Prefecture Hokkaido.

Food pairing in mind, fresh sashimi, karaage, yakitori, and grilled meats . The indication is that the profile and food offerings can change when the temperature is heated.

Oku-no-kami Junmai

Sandra — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 05:56:35 +0000

Taste:

Warm, visible presence soft cream, banana perfectly noticeable as soon as I tasted,

Umami is present towards medium, with a dry tail that doesn’t linger but cuts off short.

That short tail is just enough bite, but it is telling me that I should try again. So, this experience of the sake it kind of is like teasing you and sometimes some sakes do give that experience.

It is like telling me let me show something but not too much, you have tried me again to see more.

So, this sake is definitely controlling me, feel a bit bluffed and I am not totally annoyed with how the sake is making me react.

Room temperature Shines : For this profile what kind of drinker will like this? Saugvinon blanc, to carb sav,carbernet shiraz , Riesling . Because it is not too soft, and not too dry, quite well balance with the whole profile as you drink to suit these types of drinkers.

Kikumasune Kimoto Junmai 500ml

Sandra — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 01:01:57 +0000

Based in Kobe, Kiku-masamune brewery has been consistently producing outstanding saké for over 350 years (it was established in 1659). With an emphasis on high quality and the use of traditional methods, it has since become one of Japan’s leading saké brands.

Kiku-Masamune focuses particularly on kimoto produced dry saké; kimoto method which involves mashing the moto/shubo starter culture with kai (long sticks) which creates natural lactic acid that then prevents harmful bacteria from damaging the sake and assists brewing; this was the most commonly practised method until the 1900.

Driven by this pioneering spirit, we have launched One Cup Rainbow, a special edition of our One Cup sake flagship product with a six-color design. Fifty-six years after One Cup first went on sale in 1964, the drink remains as popular as ever, loved not only in Japan but around the world.

Ozeki was the first Japanese company to make sake in California, USA, starting production there in 1979. Now, with the growing global movement for diversity gathering momentum, we have created One Cup Rainbow in response to suggestions from young local employees and strong demand from customers in the US and elsewhere.
