This Jyuku to Kan (sake matured)-original sake combines a blend of Daiginjo sakes matured for more than ten years in the brewery's own cave* with a Junmai Daiginjo sake also aged for more than ten years, with various flavor adjustments.
What makes this sake so exceptional is its aroma that, unlike the Uwadachika (top aroma) found in new sake, floats to the surface and envelops the sake.
It is a matured ginjo sake that is both elegant and flavorful with a gentle sweetness reminiscent of almond kernel and dried apricots and can be served chilled as an appetizer for Western cuisine or at room temperature and paired with dishes sauteed in butter, such as meunière.
Since it is a blend, it is relatively versatile and can be paired with a variety of different dishes.
*The Cave Storage is the site of a factory that was dug into the side of a mountain to manufacture tanks at the end of World War II.
Approximately 100,000 bottles of sake, ranging from short-term to long-term maturation, are matured in an environment similar to the world's finest wine caves in a 600m-long space intersecting eight caves.

Nobuhiro Ueno
(Juku to Kan Bar Master / Permanent Director of the Toki Sake Association)Savory and delicious taste
A gentle sweetness reminiscent of bekko candy.
From sip to finish, the experience is smooth with no sharp, irritating corners.
The umami flavor blossoms as it slides down your throat.
The aftertaste of umami and fragrant aroma continues for a long time.
A matured ginjo sake that is both elegant and flavorful. -
戸田 明子
(日本酒肉研究所 ITTEKI 所長)れんげのはちみつ、巣入りはちみつの香り。熟成を経ても吟醸香のフローラルな感じを残し、エレガントな印象。
口に含むと香ばしい米菓子やナッツの香りも加わり、印象が変わる。
アタックのな滑らかさから、中盤になると輪郭が出てきてアフターはシャープに。ビターさと酸がしめる。ドライな仕上がり。
初めは線の細いキラキラ王子様かと思ったら意外にもドライでクールな男性だった、みたいな。 -

(湯島天神下 すし初 四代目 / 第1回J.S.A. SAKE DIPLOMAコンクール優勝)焦がしバター、バナナスプレッド、綿菓子の香り。しっとりとしたクロワッサンや
シナモン、クローブのやわらかなスパイス感もあって、テクスチャーの滑らかさを感じる。ベルベットな舌触りと秋の森を思わせるしっとり感。 -
クリストファー(クリス)・ヒューズ
(キャプランワインアカデミー WEST®認定講師)Mature tropical fruit notes in background. Well-rounded, elegant with light body and velvety texture. Slight bitterness at the end but with nicely layered mushroom notes and a pleasant umami. Finish is long with notes of chestnut, walnuts, roasted ham, and honey.

(熟と燗 バーマスター / 刻SAKE協会 常任理事)こうばしいうま味
べっこう飴を口にしたときのような優しい甘さ
ほとんど口中に刺激がなく、すべるように口におさまっていく
喉元をすべりおちるときにうま味がぐっと花開いていく。
うま味と香ばしい香りの余韻がずっと続いていく
エレガントでありながらうま味も感じられる熟成吟醸酒。
