What 22 kinds of sake labels:
Holds an aroma of muscat grapes and citrus fruit. The soft acidity flows comfortably and flows gently down the palate. It has a super elegant, long finish.
The aroma creates the sensation of being in a rice field during a harvest. The taste is very well-balanced and has quality construced umami rice sweetness with beautiful acidity that unfolds on the palate. It can be paired very well with a wide variety of dishes.
Elegant on the palate with a crisp hint of spice. Has a well balanced and quick receding after taste.
The Tottori sake rice “Goriki” makes sake with elegant and strong acidity. It has the aroma of pineapples and mangos. The refreshing taste unfolds in the palate with the sweetness of green apple skins during a long finish.
A serious sparkling sake made in the classic bottle- fermentation method, the same way as Champagne. Aroma of acacia flower and white peach followed by green apples. Delicate and fine bubbles provide perfect drink for any celebratory occasion.
A suprising swirl of bubbles brings a fruity sweet flavor with a light citrus accent. Enjoy this curious new discovery of sake. Great as an aperitif.
This classic yamahai from the brewery that made this type of sake famous is full of rich, “ricey” aromas and full of umami flavor which helps to enhance all types of cuisine.
Gorgeous aroma of melons, pears, and peaches. Has a very elegant and crisp taste with a beautiful finish.
Junmai sake-base mandarin liqueur. Made with Unshu Mikan mandarin, this sake provides refreshing citrus notes with a touch of nectarine. Great to use in cocktail ingredient, like Exotic Mimosas, or serve as a dessert wine.
Floral notes of honeysuckle followed by white peach and citrus zest. Though this sake is highly aromatic, the flavor is refined with a hint of flint. Well-balanced acidity leads to a crisp and clean finish.
Floral aroma of white bouquet and acacia followed by ripe apricot and a touch of tropical fruit such as kiwi. Refreshing citrus flavor leads to a round and velvety finish with a nuance of coconut.
“Ryusei BEKKAKU 2017” is the Ryusei brand’s top-of-the-line Junmai Daiginjo, brewed through the kimoto method using 100% carefully selected Yamada Nishiki rice. This sake, combining freshness with a solid foundation, has a refreshing, clear, noble aroma like muscatel or peaches and a deep, graceful taste that fills the palate. Its name (meaning “special” in Japanese) truly befits this sake brewed in limited quantities with everything that the years of experience and skill of master brewer Masao Fujii can deliver.
Ryusei White Label is a refreshing junmai ginjo-shu made using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice. Characterized by its refreshing taste and bracing, acidic edge, this sake has a fresh, delicate aroma like muscatel or melon. Brewed mostly by hand based on the knowledge and experience of master brewers, from washing and steaming the rice through preparing the koji, this sake has a lingering aftertaste that is refreshing and draws out the flavor of the rice.
“Ryusei YAMADA 50 NAMA” is Junmai Daiginjo, made using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice. The unassuming mellow Ginjo aroma, like a young banana, of this full-bodied sake stimulates the appetite and draws out the tastes of meals, while its flavor conveys the sweetness of the koji (Molted Rice) and the depth of the rice to the maximum extent.
"Mizuho" is completely different from Ginjo and Daiginjo style sake. Very full bodied, rich, but soft and round finish. The flavorful soft depth will increase the enjoyment with each glass.
