About This Sake

About Sauvage
An emblematic cuvee honoring the rice used, it is worked according to the same principles as Eau du Désir using a higher-temperature fermentation which allows the extraction of primary aromas.
In these conditions the Omachi reveals all its power, its ample and fatty profile. The aromas of mushrooms derived from the powerful koji, give way to undergrowth and ripe fruit at the end. With less tension than Yamadanishiki, it surprises by its volume, which comes to invade each area of the palate. A gorgeous sake but which discreetly uses the codes of Junmai Daiginjo.

About Eau Du Desir
This sake is the first to be created according to the new style of the house and was launched 20 years ago. The challenge was to make an elegant and harmonious sake while bringing the faithful expression of the rice variety used in the glass. To do this, brewing techniques have been developed so as not to distort the primary aromas and make the origin of this sake readable by all. It is possible to appreciate this explosion of flavors so characteristic of the saké junmai Daiginjo of Yamadanishiki without great knowledge.
