Product details
Kirinzan Classic Futsushu is an exceptional everyday sake that exemplifies the brewery's commitment to quality, even at the entry level. Crafted from Gohyaku Mangoku and Koshi Ibuki sake rice polished to 65%, well beyond the requirements for premium honjozo sake, Kirinzan demonstrates meticulous attention to detail. The rice is sourced from local farmers within five miles of the brewery, ensuring both freshness and sustainability. This futsushu represents the Tanrei Karakuchi style, a hallmark of the Niigata region, known for producing clean, dry, and refined sake. Located near Mt. Kirin in Tsugawa, Kirinzan Shuzo takes its name from the mythical kirin, a creature believed to bring happiness and good fortune.
Kirinzan Classic Futsushu offers a dry, clean, and light-bodied experience with satisfying aromas of hazelnut, melon, and rice, underpinned by a pleasant minerality. Its well-balanced profile makes it an ideal companion for a variety of Japanese dishes, particularly when served at room temperature or slightly warmed. Whether paired with lightly grilled fish, shrimp, tofu, simmered vegetables, or sunomono, this sake elevates everyday meals with its refined character and subtle intensity.
