This is a top-class food-pairing sake that maintains the softness typical of Fushimi's famous sake, while maintaining a high level of balance between complex aromas and flavors through long-term maturation in traditional pots called kame.

There is a description of aged sake in Honchochokan, a document dating back to the Edo period(1603-1867). Based on this, the brewery has created a assemblage of two types of sake that have been matured for a long period of time in traditional pots called kame (which can be made from of earthenware, glass or stone), which are fired at high temperatures, to create an original sake with complexity.

The sake is polished using soft water from Kyoto, and the far-infrared effect of the pots creates a mellower and smoother drink.
Pour into a large glass, let the aroma accumulate in the bowl, and enjoy slowly. Alternatively, sip it at room temperature or lukewarm in a saucer-shape cup called a hirahai to incorporate air and enjoy a richer aroma. Both are recommended.

* Since pots are used for storage and the conditions vary depending on the pot, there are individual differences even within the same vintage.

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

    From the burnt but rather elegant fragrance, it is clear this sake is worthy of its name: Taoyaka (lit: dainty).

    The harmony is wonderful, and the spread of flavor is a gradual one. All five tastes are beautifully woven together, and there is so much taste to explore.

    The bit of astringency at the end suggets it would be good warm. I want to try it warm in a larger vessel like a sakazuki.

    A gentle sake that elicits an audible "delicious" from every sip.
