This sake is made from a Junmai sake that has been matured for 25 years, giving it a mellow taste profile and depth.
The lees/sediment generated during aging have been racked off to leave just the clear part called uwazumi.

Despite its deep color, it doesn't feel heavy and will keep you returning for another sip.

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)

    Composed of raisins, roasted sweet potatoes, burnt soy sauce, and a baking soda-like and complex aroma. In the taste, you can feel the aroma of roasted sweet potato skin, prunes, and large raisins. Feels like it could be paired with Japanese or Western desserts for a surprising flavor experience.

  • Hidekazu Ishiwata
    (Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)

    Dark brown. It opens with a soy sauce aroma and burnt notes.
    The retronasal aroma is gentle and sweet.
    There is astringency in the mouth, and it is firm and crisp.

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

    Beautiful clear red color. The refreshing scent is reminiscent of plums and apricots. Interestingly in the mouth, the aroma becomes deeper, and a scent goes up your nose like that which you get when you bite into a tomato. Even though it has been aged for 25 years, it still maintains a very light impression.

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

    It reminds me of dry berries, but has the gentle flavor and richness of rice.
    Mellow nuances reminiscent of whisky, with elements of raisins.
