Shichiken the Silk

Description

Premium sake with fruity aroma and light finish.

Inspired by the smooth elegance of silk, Shichiken The Silk is a refined Junmai Daiginjo with a remarkably velvety texture. Delicate aromas of orchard fruit and flowers are complemented by vibrant acidity and subtle umami, resulting in a graceful, beautifully balanced sake with a long, elegant finish. Produced by Shichiken Brewery, Yamanashi Meijo

Shichiken Brewery is located in the center of Japan at Hakushucho, Hokuto City, Yamanshi prefecture. Hokuto City is known for its pristine water source, which attracts several major companies to set up mineral water factory in Hokuto City making Japan’s number one place for mineral water production.
