Product details
Shichida Junmai is the flagship sake of the renowned Tenzan Sake Brewery, celebrated for its exceptional balance and versatility. Crafted with locally grown Saga rice and pristine underground water from Mt. Tianshan, this sake offers a light, smooth taste with a distinct rice umami that isn't overpowering. A hint of acidity complements its refined sweetness, leaving a lingering yet clean aftertaste that pairs effortlessly with a wide variety of dishes. From the comfort of stewed pork to the delicate flavors of boiled daikon with minced chicken, Shichida Junmai enhances every meal with its elegant and easy-to-drink profile.
The quality of Shichida Junmai stems from its extraordinary ingredients and Tenzan’s dedication to excellence. The medium-hard water, rich in minerals and sourced from Japan's famous "Shimizu Falls," provides the ideal foundation for brewing. Nearly 90% of the rice used is cultivated locally in Saga Prefecture, with Tenzan’s cultivation research group working closely with farmers to ensure superior quality and traceability. With its fruity aroma, gentle sweetness, and light, crisp finish, Shichida Junmai is a testament to the brewery’s craftsmanship and offers incredible value for sake lovers seeking a versatile, well-rounded choice.
