A Junmai ginjo made from Akita prefecture's own “Gin no Sei” brewing rice. An easy drinking sake characterised by delicate aromas and a pronounced umami flavour. Pairs very well with Japanese food.
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.

A Junmai Ginjo that has a dignified impression and a refreshing feeling like water from melting snow. It has a gentle aroma reminiscent of plum blossoms that are just beginning to unravel, and a moist, clear sweetness with the taste of fully ripened rice.
Drink it chilled as a clear food drink, or enjoy the gorgeous flavor and aroma typical of Miyakanbai when warmed from room temperature.
This Junmai Ginjo sake is brewed using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice, polished to 50% for optimal flavor. The result is a beautiful aroma and clean finish, perfect for women who enjoy sake. This makes a great gift as it comes with a presentation box.
An excellent choice for a first encounter with sake. Shirataki’s signature label features a flowery aroma and soft flavor with the feel of pure white snow. Soft water and quality rice - the blessings of nature give birth to this sake as clear as water.
Omachi rice is polished to 55%, and the mash is carefully fermented at a low temperature using 1801 yeast. The sake is transferred to a tank via Yabuta filtration and bottled unfiltered as nama (raw) sake without any added water. It is then aged at a low temperature for about six months. The moderate ginjo aroma and the rich, distinctive flavor of Omachi rice create a perfect balance.
Experience the exquisite taste of Kanbai Shuzo's Miya Kanbai Junmai Ginjo Origarami (15%) 720ml – a delicately crafted sake with a unique fragrance. Savor the indulgent oori flavor that lingers on your palate. Take your time to enjoy each sip, as if savoring a succulent fruit.
Hitachi Nishiki is a rice suitable for sake brewing in Ibaraki Prefecture, developed in the local prefecture. The only Morishima brand sake labeled as “dry”. Even if you say dry in one word, it is still Morishima. A well-balanced taste that combines transparency and freshness. The image is polite and neat, not gaudy. Please enjoy the beautiful dry Morishima.
On days when you want to eat a lot, have a dry cup that is as good as cooking with oil. The light and smart aftertaste goes well with meat dishes such as roast beef, Happosai, and fried tofu.
