The aroma is elegant and fresh, reminiscent of muscat grapes. On the palate, it opens with a clean and refreshing impression, followed by a juicy and expansive umami that unfolds beautifully. Transparent acidity intertwines with pure sweetness, creating a layered yet light and dynamic flavor profile. The finish is crisp and clean, leaving a refreshing aftertaste—balancing depth with finesse in a highly refined expression.
From Mie Prefecture comes the globally acclaimed brand “Zaku,” presenting this limited release “Junmai Ginjo Ise Nishiki.” It is brewed using the rare heirloom sake rice “Ise Nishiki,” an original strain of “Yamada Ho,” often referred to as the mother of Yamada Nishiki. Polished to 55%, it results in a Junmai Ginjo that combines fresh aromatics with deep umami. Once nearly extinct due to its difficulty in cultivation and known as the “phantom rice,” the unique character of Ise Nishiki is fully expressed in this elegant and finely crafted sake.
