而今 純米大吟釀 白鶴錦火入 720ml

Kiyasho Shuzo, founded in 1818 by Shohachi Onishi in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, Japan, began as a lumber merchant, hence the name "Kiyasho" meaning "wood shop." The brewery has preserved traditional sake brewing techniques while evolving over generations. In 2004, sixth-generation owner Tadayoshi Onishi, at age 27, took over amid financial struggles. Working solo, he revived the business and launched the "Jikon" brand, inspired by a Zen term for "seize the moment." Focusing on quality and local rice, it gained acclaim for innovative yet rooted expressions, blending heritage with modern finesse.

The Jikon Junmai Daiginjo Hakutsuru Nishiki Hiire is a refined pasteurized sake, brewed with Hakutsuru Nishiki rice polished to 45%, offering elegant fruitiness and balance.

Nosing: Tropical aromas of lychee, strawberry, peach, mango, passion fruit, kiwi, and pineapple, with floral jasmine, orange blossom, apple, pear, berry, anise, iris, and subtle mineral hints.

Palate: Light juicy acidity upfront, evolving into firm sweet umami; soft, smooth texture, full-bodied richness, refreshing fruity balance, rounded with fresh acidity.

Finish: Long and bold, lingering with satisfying sweetness and subtle dryness.
