"KIYOMIZU SEISABUROU SHOUKO CO., LTD." LOCATED IN MIE PREFECTURE, WHOSE BRAND "SAKU" TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE HUMBLE MEANING OF "UNFINISHED," REPRESENTS THE HARMONY AND TRANSPARENCY PRESENTED BY BREAKING FREE FROM CONSTRAINTS. IT ALSO HOPES TO USE "SAKU" AS A BRIDGE TO COMBINE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE. AND SUZUKA CITY IN MIE PREFECTURE HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE ANCIENT TIMES AS "SUZUKA, THE HOMETOWN OF FINE WINE."

Meibutsu "Saku" is one of the products that has gained attention in recent years. Originally brewed in winter, it has been reformed to brew all year round while maintaining a limited production to preserve the quality of the sake. In the past, it has won numerous awards, including "Consecutive 6-Year Gold Award at the All-Japan Sake Appreciation Conference 2016," Gold Award in the Junmai Daiginjo category at SAKE COMPETITION 2018, Silver Award in the International Wine Challenge 2021, and so on...

THE CONCEPT OF "YANAI CHI" COMBINES THE BALANCE OF AROMA AND TASTE. IT FEATURES A CAPTIVATING BLEND OF RICH, MATURE APPLE AND CANTALOUPE AROMAS THAT ARE IMPRESSIVE UPON SMELLING, WITH A SWEET AND MELLOW SPREAD THAT LINGERS ON THE TONGUE. THE "NAKADORI" PROCESS INVOLVES REMOVING THE FIRST AND LAST PORTIONS OF THE SAKE MASH DURING BREWING, RETAINING ONLY THE CLEAREST MIDDLE SECTION. THIS MAKES THE SAKE'S AROMA MORE ROBUST AND ITS SWEETNESS QUITE PRONOUNCED, PERFECTLY PRESENTING THE ROUNDED TEXTURE OF YAMADANISHIKI SAKE RICE.

WHEN CAREFULLY ROLLED UP ON THE TONGUE, IT IS ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A VERY RICH AND COLORFUL WORK. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ENJOY IT AS A COLD DRINK ALONG WITH SASHIMI SUSHI / APPETIZERS AND LIGHT FOOD INGREDIENTS.
