Sawahime Junmai Gold 720ml

A uniquely crafted experimental Junmai sake born from the idea of “what if sake could be even more interesting.” Brewed with an unusually high koji ratio—four times the standard—this sake is made using kimoto-style fermentation to enhance both umami and acidity.

The result is a sweet and sour expression with remarkable depth, yet a surprisingly light finish. It delivers a bold sensory experience where richness, colour, and texture come together in a new and unconventional style of sake.

Awarded the highest Gold Prize at the Junmai Sake Awards 2018, this is a truly distinctive sake designed for adventurous drinkers.
