This sake pours crystal clear. Made with native yeasts, it has an intense nose of yellow apple and poached pear, with floral undertones. On the palate, it’s rich and lush, with flavors of ripe melon and a hint of nuttiness.
The Nanbu Toji brewmasters have traditionally plied their craft in the chill of winter. Their time-honored techniques impart a light, refreshing taste to this medium-dry sake made with Iwate’s special Gin Otome brewing rice.
Water lily, honeydew melon, cucumber, and lychee mingle with a more decadent hint of warm rice pudding. Distinctly mineral and full-bodied, flavors of rice milk, muskmelon, cantaloupe, and miso offer a dazzlingly complex palate which endures seemingly forever.
Dreamy Clouds is quite special because its milling rate of 59% technically qualifies it as Junmai Ginjo grade – a rare quality level for a nigori (cloudy) sake. It presents an opportunity to move Nigori drinkers forward to new styles of sake.
The clear nectar contained in this gorgeous blue bottle will impress upon you a gentle, fruity aroma and a light dry finish. A charming aspect of Kikusui Junmai Ginjo is that that it draws out the inner flavors of accompanying dishes, however there is no single style of cuisine with which it absolutely must be paired. A fine choice for restaurants and beginners to sake.

Silvery, crystal clear glow from this sake, with aromas of damp slate, apricot skins and white flowers. It tastes fresh and spring-like, with loads of honeysuckle and other white flowers, and some white peach. Well-balanced with a slight bitter almond finish.
A subtle eggshell off white color in the glass, the subtle aromas offer minty eucalyptus and cool morning glory blossoms. On the palate there are flavors of concentrated sweet rice, white pepper, and dried pineapple. Complexities continue to develop long after each sip.
