Nakashimaya Kijoshu (720ml)

Crafted using an ancient, specialized technique, this exceptional sake substitutes sake for water during the final stage of fermentation. This deliberate stress on the yeast results in an extraordinarily rich, complex flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional brews.

  • Tasting Notes: The nose opens with an intriguing, layered bouquet of dark coffee, toasted caramel, and subtle spice. On the palate, it delivers a honeyed softness and opulent sweetness, perfectly structured and brightened by a crisp, refreshing acidity.

  • Serving & Pairings: Highly versatile, it can be served well-chilled or gently warmed to unlock different layers of flavor. Pairs exceptionally well with rich, savory dishes like grilled eel, braised beef cheek, duck in red wine sauce, or simmered fish—and makes a delightful dessert pairing poured over rum raisin ice cream.

  • About the Brewery: Founded in 1823, Nakashimaya brings over two centuries of heritage to every bottle, combining traditional handcrafting methods with modern brewing science to produce small-batch sake of undeniable depth.
