Product details
Celebrate a century of craftsmanship with Nishide 100Yr Junmai Daiginjo, a sake brewed using a unique yeast discovered 100 years ago, known as kuratsuki kobo (house yeast). Found only within Nishide Shuzo's historic brewery, this yeast imparts a distinct character to the sake, creating a one-of-a-kind flavor profile. Mild notes of young banana and apricot open the palate, transitioning seamlessly into the rich, smooth umami of sake rice, and finishing with a touch of acidity for a perfectly balanced experience.
Housed in a bottle adorned with Ishikawa’s 17th-century Kutani Yaki porcelain artwork, this sake is a testament to local heritage and ingredients. Best enjoyed chilled, Nishide 100Yr Junmai Daiginjo is an excellent companion to sushi and dashi-based dishes, enhancing delicate flavors with its refined elegance. Whether for a special occasion or a thoughtful gift, this sake offers a blend of tradition, artistry, and unforgettable taste.
