Product details
Zaku Kaizan Ittekisui Junmai Daiginjo embodies the Buddhist philosophy that the life-giving essence of water is profound, even in a single drop. Crafted with meticulous care, only 40% of each rice grain remains after polishing, and the sake is brewed slowly at low temperatures to achieve its refined character. The name “Kaizan” pays homage to the Japanese pagoda tree (槐), symbolizing the noble and elegant qualities reflected in every sip of this premium sake.
This Junmai Daiginjo offers a beautifully delicate aroma with notes of pear and white flowers. On the palate, it reveals layers of candied pineapple and ripe red apples, complemented by a silky texture and a clean, pure core. Balanced acidity and a subtle hint of bitterness add depth to its luxurious profile. Perfectly paired with seafood carpaccio, creamy chicken dishes, or fresh cheese, Zaku Kaizan Ittekisui is best enjoyed at 10°C in a wine glass to fully appreciate its elegance and complexity.
