If you enjoy sake, you know there is nothing quite like a good Tokubetsu Junmai sake. This is a special category of sake that is made with pure rice and water, without the addition of brewer’s alcohol. It is often characterized by a light and refreshing taste.
If you’re looking to try something new this year, here are five of the best sakes to try:
Dassai 23
Dassai 23 is a premium sake made by the Asahi Shuzo brewery in Hiroshima, Japan. It is made using Yamada Nishiki rice and is polished to a 23% seimaibuai (rice kernel remaining). This results in a sake that is light and delicate, with a pure, clean flavor.
Dassai 23 has won numerous awards and is widely regarded as one of the best sakes in the world. It is the perfect choice for any sake lover looking for high-quality, authentic Japanese sake.
Kubota Senjyu
Kubota Senjyu sake is brewed using the traditional kimoto method, which results in a richer and more full-bodied flavor. It is also fermented for a longer period of time, which gives it a smooth and elegant finish. If you are looking for a high-quality sake to enjoy, we highly recommend Kubota Senjyu!
Rihaku Wandering Poet
The brewery’s signature sake is the Rihaku Wandering Poet Junmai Daiginjo, which is made with Yamada Nishiki rice and pure spring water from the nearby mountains. The sake is fermented for two years in cedar barrels and then bottled without being filtered or pasteurized.
Shichida Seiki Tokubetsu Junmai
Brewed using the purest water from the snow mountains and the finest rice from Shichida Farm, Shichida Seiki tokubetsu junmai sakes are some of the most premium sakes in the world.
Shichida Seiki’s sakes are known for their high quality and their smooth, delicate flavour. They are produced in small batches using traditional methods, and each batch is carefully monitored to ensure that it meets the company’s high standards.
Yamada Nishiki
Yamada Nishiki sakes are prized for their delicate aromas and smooth flavors. The brewing process is extremely precise, and only the highest quality rice is used. This attention to detail results in a sake that is truly unmatched in quality.
