Zaku Impression H

Description

Unfiltered version of “Zaku Ho no Tomo” which won SAKE COMPETITION No. 1 in the Junmai Sake category.

It is perfect for in-meal sake with a fruity yet calm aroma and a slightly dry finish.

Immediately after opening, the ultra-fine carbonic acid that pops with bubble wrap creates a refreshing taste.

As time goes by, the carbonic acid feeling fades, and at the same time, a rich flavor appears.

Appearance Crystal clear with a lively sparkle. Nose Fresh aromas of lychee, white peach, red apple, and delicate rice sweetness, complemented by subtle floral notes. Palate Silky and vibrant, offering juicy orchard fruit, gentle umami, lively acidity, and a fine natural pétillance. Bottled directly after pressing, it captures the freshness and energy of a namazake while remaining pasteurised. Finish Clean, crisp, and refreshing, with lingering fruit, subtle richness, and an elegant, slightly dry finish. As the bottle breathes, the gentle effervescence softens and a deeper layer of umami gradually emerges.
