Each sip is a new experience

At the highest quality that the Asahi-Shuzo Sake Brewing Co., Ltd. (Kubota) can offer, this sake uses Koshitanrei sake rice made from Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku, the king and queen of sake rice. The brewers use a unique rice polishing process that takes twice as long to polish this exquisite rice, then use 1/5 of normal pressure when extracting. The result is sake with a floral first sip, a second sip of complex flavor and followed by a third sip of bliss.

Sip, pair & save!

Complete your home izakaya with a snack and ware carefully selected by Tippsy — with no additional shipping fees!

Why not pair a delicate snack with delicate junmai daiginjo sake? For sake ware, we recommend glasses or cups that enhance the sake’s fruity aroma.
