Shibainu no kobanashi 720ml

This Kimoto Junmai is a beautifully balanced, low-alcohol sake that harmonises gentle sweetness with refreshing acidity. Brewed with Jugemu rice, its name is inspired by the famous Japanese rakugo story Jugemu. Aromatic notes of pear and melon are complemented by the soft, lactic acidity characteristic of the traditional Kimoto brewing method.

The palate is smooth and approachable, offering surprising depth and body despite its lower alcohol content. Its elegant balance makes it equally enjoyable on its own or alongside richly flavoured dishes.
