Emperor's Sake Set

DESCRIPTION

This is a upgrade to the beloved Souhana Junmai Ginjo who have been loved for more than 100 years. Rice driven aromas, with hints of apple and white grape. Creamy mouthfeel, rich body while being clean and structured. This sake matches well with Tempura, Unagi, Beijing Duck and Sweet and Sour pork.

SOMMELIER'S NOTES

This sake was designed for the coronation of current Japanese Emperor Naruhito in 2019. Its striking bottle design and bold yet elegant taste is testament to the purpose of this brew. It is sometimes given out as gifts to the guests to the imperial palace.

DESCRIPTION

A favourite of the Imperial Family, only made available to the public in 1970. This was used for the coronation of 4 Emperors. Souhana is one of the most versatile sake, fresh crisp and gentle when chilled, and deep, matured and settled flavours with a velvety texture when warmed. 

SOMMELIER'S NOTES

This sake displays a special rich aroma and well-balanced body created by well-harmonized five flavors of sweetness, acidity, dryness, bitterness and astringency. Its been served to the imperial family for more than 100 years.

DESCRIPTION

Thanks to the right balance of JDG, non-pasteurization (Nama) and original yeast, this sake contains rich flavor of rice and fresh fruity aroma (Ginjo-ka). This fresh fruity aroma is generated by Nihonsakari’s original yeast. 

SOMMELIER'S NOTES

This is a very surprising sake with fresh tropical aromas with a hint of Persimmon. Due to a high tech enzyme filter, it can be kept at room temperature without spoilage. Excellent value for money.
