SHIMIZU-NO-MAI PURE JUNMAI

Shimizu-no-mai, meaning dance of spring water, carries a fascinating heritage that began as a cocktail creation in Tokyo s Hotel New Otani in 1997 before becoming Takashimizu Brewery s celebrated brand name. This Junmai sake, crafted from Miyama-Nishiki and regular rice polished to 60% and 65% respectively, embodies the pure spirit of its name with a precise balance of tradition and refinement. In the glass, this medium-bodied sake presents a calm and subtle aromatic profile that leads to a well-structured palate marked by firm acidity and pure rice flavors. With its balanced sake meter value of +1 and measured acidity of 1.7, it offers a versatile drinking experience that shines both chilled and traditionally warmed, demonstrating the classic characteristics that have made it a standard-bearer in the U.S. market since 2009.
