A gentle bouquet of fresh fruit aromas unfolds with a refined, refreshing elegance, evoking the cool breeze of a summer day. On the palate, the sake immediately reveals the rich umami and full-bodied depth characteristic of a Genshu, before a lively dry finish emerges, beautifully balanced by a rounded, mellow sweetness. The aftertaste is light, clean, and remarkably crisp. Served over a single ice cube, the character gradually transforms—the palate becomes silkier, the sweetness unfolds more gracefully, and the finish remains refreshingly precise, offering a distinctly different yet equally rewarding expression. Whether enjoyed neat or on the rocks, this seasonal release showcases the craftsmanship of a historic brewery, delivering a refreshing summer sake with impressive depth, versatility, and effortless drinkability.
Few pleasures are more welcome in the height of summer than a perfectly chilled glass of sake. Kuzuryu Hiyashizake is a limited seasonal release from the century-old Kokuryu Sake Brewing Corporation in Fukui Prefecture. Brewed with locally grown Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 65%, this pasteurised Genshu has been crafted with a richer, more concentrated profile specifically designed to be enjoyed over ice, offering a refreshingly modern interpretation of summer sake while preserving the brewery's renowned elegance and craftsmanship.
