The sake name means velvet taste. A fruit-forward bouquet of pear followed by black pepper and mint. Smooth, off-dry, low acidity with medium body, lots of umami and a medium finish with a hint of tomato leaf. The structure is firm with some corners. A subtle sake packed with flavor as a result of a long careful ferment at low temperatures.

Chill and put in a wine glass to fully appreciate the aroma. Pair with meat dishes like roast beef.

Serving temperature: Chilled

Created by mixing a small amount of unrefined Ginjo to the sharp taste of pure rice Ginjo. A full-bodied sake with a clear and delicate aftertaste. Sasanigori is a popular choice across the world.

The pronounced aromas and balance between acidic and sweet flavours are reminiscent of white wine.

島根県のオリジナル酒米「佐香錦（さかにしき）」で醸した純米吟醸　無濾過生原酒です。佐香錦の特徴である爽やかな酸味と生原酒ならではの旨味溢れる味わいがバランス良く調和した濃い目の味わいの料理にもよく合うフルボディータイプのお酒です。

A raw-style, unfiltered Junmai Ginjo brewed with Shimane prefecture's signature rice strain 'Sakanishiki'.
A full bodied sake with classic umami flavours and a refreshing acidity that cuts through rich food,
making it an ideal partner for pairing.

Mellow & Mature

Matured for 24 months in ice cold fermentation. This perfectly balanced junmai ginjo is full of bright stone fruit, from peaches to nectarine and juicy cherry with a clean mineral finish that is reminiscent of melting snow.

A gentle aroma reminiscent of pears and ripe peaches. When you put it in your mouth, the silky, delicate flavor of rice and high-quality acid spread out in a well-balanced manner. The aftertaste leaves a moderate aftertaste, and it goes down quickly. It has a dignified, hearty taste.

The brewery recommends this as a ``fuyuhiyazake,'' which is neither new sake nor chilled sake, and is recommended to be enjoyed chilled even in the cold winter, and to go well with hot pot dishes and seasonal ingredients. Indeed, it is a high-quality sake that goes well with any dish.

Also, when heated, the sweetness of the dormant rice comes out and the rice becomes more swollen and warmed up. It's an exquisite sake that can be enjoyed at any temperature. It can be said to be a slightly dangerous sake that goes well with Japanese food and sake accompaniments such as hot pot, delicacies, sashimi, and salty yakitori.

Top-class sake with the rice center-stage

Named after the beauty of the nearby Mt. Kaikoma. Hints of porridge with nectarine jam. Off-dry with a refreshing acidity and texture like tweed. Very tidy but flavorful umami fills the mouth releasing oats and nuts before a dry finish. Delicious at any temperature but warm up to unleash even more flavor.

Try yakitori, sauteed dishes, roast chicken or sardines.

There are only four breweries that regularly supply sake for the Imperial household. Nihonsakari is one brewery to be so honored for over 100 years. This special sake called Souhana was permitted to be sold to the public for the first time in 1970.

This most superior sake has been used ever since by the Imperial family for important events such as the enthronement of Emperor Taisho and Showa; almost all weddings of the Imperial family; official welcome parties for state guests; and in 2019 the enthronement of the new Emperor of Japan.
