Akabu Junmai Sake Japanese Sake 15% 720ml 赤武 純米酒

Rated 4.7 Stars (465 reviews)

Contrary to its rugged appearance, this Junmai sake is so refreshing and fresh that it almost feels like a "Junmai Ginjo sake." This can also be seen in the aroma, and when poured into a glass, the sweetness of the fresh rice creates a fruity aroma with a fruity feel, stimulating the nasal cavity as it passes through your nose with a refreshing taste. When you take a sip, the soft, swelled rice flavor and the refreshing minerality slide over your tongue in a very pleasant way.

About The Brewery

About The Brewery

The founder of the company is said to be "Niemon," who came from the province of Kaga (present-day Ishikawa Prefecture) around the end of the Warring States Period to the beginning of the Edo Period, and is still called "Kaga-nin" in Yuzawa today. Initially, he was an oil merchant, but later he also brewed miso. Ryoseki Sake Brewery was originally founded in 1874 by Ito Niemon Shouten. The name Ryoseki is said to have come from the association with the sake brand Masamune (Masamune = authentic), which was named by a sword connoisseur doctor during the reign of Niemon VIII, who wanted the sake to be both the famous sword of the east, Masamune, and the sword of the west, Munechika, and the sword of the east and west, Ozeki.
