TSUKINOKATSURA'S SELECTED BRANDS

TSUKINOKATSURA Kohakuhikari Tokubetsushu

This very special koshu, or aged sake has been enjoyed in Japan since the 17th century. It is the only koshu in Japan to be slowly matured for ten years in special earthenware pots until it takes on a unique colour of burnished gold, and acquires a well-rounded, refined and unpretentious character. It offers a strong, elegant fragrance coupled with an invigoratingly crisp, dry taste.

TSUKINOKATSURA Iwai Junmai Ginjo Nigori-sake

Nigori-sake or ‘cloudy sake’ is usually guaranteed to offer a unique drinking sensation, and Tsukinokatsura Junmai Nigori-sake is no exception. It is not pressed to remove particulates in the same way as regular sake, and is bottled at just the correct stage of fermentation to provide a multi-layered fragrance with fruity tones, combined with a complex yet refreshingly crisp taste.

TSUKINOKATSURA Junmai Ginjo Yanagi

The finest Yamada Nishiki and Yume Nishiki sake rice from Hyogo prefecture is milled to perfection to produce this top quality ginjoshu, which even among other ginjoshu varieties displays an outstandingly light and dry character. It combines a fruity, yet slightly tart aroma, redolent of lemon, pineapple and orange, with a taste that offers the perfect balance between the soft flavour of the rice and a pleasingly crisp finish.
