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.
