When this sake was brewed in 1988, for a long time, most of the soy sauce and sake consumed in the southern island of Kyushu where it was made was amakuchi (sweet). Given this background, it is perhaps not surprising that this mellow and balanced sake earned the label chokarakuchi (super dry).

The long maturation brings out the mellow flavors, creating a drink that can be enjoyed in various ways, from various dining situations to drinking alone.

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)

    Gentle and soft caramel aged aroma with a faint hint of cinnamon. Bevelled by the passage of time, it is extremely well-balanced and unobtrusive. Matured enough to for continuous drinking..
    The aftertaste is not strong, and melts away cleanly.

  • Hidekazu Ishiwata
    (Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)

    Beautiful golden yellow. Sweet aroma at the top.
    The nose has a sweet aroma of sotolon and caramel. The attack is strong.
    The slightly sharp acidity and alcohol give it a sharpness and tightness.

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

    Gold to amber color.
    A slightly smoky scent with hints of apricot and fig. The attack is smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness, before the bitterness tightens the palate in the second half.
    It would be interesting to pair it with dishes using mushrooms, especially porcini mushrooms.

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

    Both the alcohol and robust nature of this sake are well balanced with caramel notes, creating a smooth, fragrant experience.. A masterpiece to be savored.
