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.

For orders from within Japan, we will send out the ordered items within 3 days from receipt of your order, except for festive seasons such as year-end holidays and golden week.
For orders from outside Japan, please make inquiry by mail (info@1910kan.com)

Tasting comments

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

    The top has a banana-like scent (derived from esters), and a faint glue-like scent (ethyl acetate) that I remember from my childhood. The taste has a gentle banana-like sweetness, followed by an acidity that crispens the palate. Thanks to the moderate astringency, it washes away cleanly while leaving a lingering aftertaste.

  • Hidekazu Ishiwata
    (Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)

    Light yellow. There is a faint charred note in the orthonasal aroma. The retronasal aroma is a relaxed, mature aroma, with banana-like isoamyl acetate fruit, and a caramel-like nuance. Smooth texture, fullness, and firmness due to light acidity.

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

    It has a scent reminiscent of wisteria flowers, and occasionally a refreshing scent like green bananas. The gradual layers of fragrance create an interesting sense of depth. A well-balanced sake combining smoothness from maturation and gentleness from the ginjo aromas.

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

    A fragrance derived from rice and a gentle ginjo aroma.
    The rich flavor and balance give a sense of calm.
    The aftertaste also leaves a delicious taste.
