It has a glossy yellow color called teri, and a gentle but multi-layered aroma. By heating it at a higher temperature, the flavor, sharpness, and aroma harmonize, making it an even more appealing sake.

How to store

Most important thing in storing Japanese Sake, both matured and fresh, is to shield your bottles from UV ray, thus we suggest store them in places where sunshine would not reach.
Also excessive vibrations could do harm to the quality of sake and should be avoided.
In order to prevent unexpected leakage, we recommend the bottles be kept upright, or liquid surface be below bottle-cap level.

Most after-dinner matured sake, with very dark colors, could be stored at room-temperature.
For other matured sake, if you would like to keep the maturation level similar to the level upon your purchase, or you prefer very slow maturation after purchase, we suggest store the bottles at temperature level similar to wine cellar (10-15 degrees centigrade) or below.

If you would like them to mature more, you could store them at normal-to-low room temperature (15-23 degrees centigrade). Storing in you closet during not-so-hot seasons and relocate them in the vegetable sections of your refrigerator during summer would be one option.

Tasting comments

  • Nobuhiro Ueno
    (Juku to Kan Bar Master / Permanent Director of the Toki Sake Association)

    (chilled)
    A gentle matured aroma, with notes of sotolon (smells like maple syrup), nutty burnt nuances, and a hint of soy sauce.
    As the temperature rises in the mouth, the sake develops an apricot-like aroma and sweetness. It has just the right amount of flavor and an astringent but pleasant aftertaste.

    (warm)
    Aroma: Mild, matured scent (soy sauce type).
    In the mouth, it smells like alcohol with a little smoke. As the temperature drops, the aroma becomes sweeter like dried fruit.
    As you raise the temperature, the flavor spreads and the sharpness increases. It's delicious hot and cold.

  • Hidekazu Ishiwata
    (Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)

    (chilled)
    It makes a good first impression with its shiny golden yellow hue called teri in Japanese. The orthonosal aroma has notes of sotolon, nuts, and chocolate.
    The retronasal aroma is mild with refined matured notes that spread throughout the mouth.
    The taste is clean and well rounded.

    (warm)
    I feel an orthonasal mature aroma with a hint of sulfur.
    It has a sweet, burnt aroma with a slightly bitter taste.
    Smooth sweetness. Impressions of caramel and chocolate. Sharp and acidic.

  • Akiko Toda
    (Director of ITTEKI, Japan Sake and Meat Research Institute)

    (chilled)
    I am fascinated by the beautiful bright yellow color.
    The aroma is subtle, with the scent of brown rice and nuts.
    A relaxing taste with a gentle balance of flavors. You want to enjoy it as the temperature gradually drops, keeping it extremely hot at 55-60℃.

    (warm)
    A gentle scent reminiscent of soy sauce and pickles. The taste is very soft and harmonious. A temperature of around 50℃ gives the best impression.
    I would like to pair it with simple robatayaki such as grilled rice balls and grilled miso.

  • Yuji Yamauchi
    (Yushima Tenjinshita Sushi Hatsu 4th generation / 1st JSA SAKE DIPLOMA competition winner)

    (chilled)
    It has a satisfyingly grain-like texture—from the protein on the outside of the rice—and a breadth that would be enjoyable even at room temperature. In the second half, it becomes sharp and provides hints of its versatility when served at room temperature and warmed.

    (warm)
    Demonstrates the depth of its maturer qualities with notes of sotolon and furfural, and the sweetness of the rice, and umami come to the fore.
    It should pair well with dishes like nanbanzuke (marinated fried fish in vinegar sauce) etc.
    Heating to around 55℃ should give the entire sake a lift. The sweetness and aroma are balanced, and it displays depth of flavor. It has a soy sauce-like aroma. Feels like Takuwan pickles with bonito flakes would be good with it.
