Product details
The Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute, named after the esteemed sake master often referred to as the "God of Sake Brewing," honors the incredible legacy of Noguchi Naohiko. Even in his eighties, Noguchi continues to work with unrelenting dedication, having spent more than seventy years perfecting the art of sake brewing. Established in November 2017, the institute is devoted to preserving and transmitting Noguchi’s unparalleled techniques, philosophy, and vision to the next generation of brewers who are fortunate to learn directly from him.
Crafted from locally sourced rice, this sake offers a delicate aroma of Oriental flowers that soothes the senses. On the palate, it is smooth and silky, with a slight milky richness and a crisp, short finish. When served at room temperature, its sweetness is more pronounced, while warming it to 42°C (108°F) enhances its mellow qualities. This sake pairs beautifully with lighter dishes, particularly seafood and vegetables.
