A sake so rare it doesn't need a name.
Truly the first of its kind, this product challenges preconceived notions of what defines quality when it comes to sake.
SAKE OVERVIEW
Kojima Sohonten utilizes their 24 generations of sake making to reintroduce an ancient way of production, sashikomi, to produce a sake that is at once modern and rooted in tradition. This “four-step” brewing method, along with the addition of kijoshu and finishing in cedar, results in a sake that has remarkable intensity and concentration for being only 13% alcohol.
TASTING NOTES
Notes of maple, black cherry, marmalade, custard and baking spice.
EAT WITH
Try with cedar planked salmon, chicken marsala or agrodolce pork chops.
