Description
Named after the 16th-generation Matsusuke of our brewery (now in its 19th generation), Shosei embodies a deep connection to our heritage. In our brewery's garden, a stone monument engraved with one of Matsusuke's haikus stands as a guardian, watching over our sake-making process.
Crafted from the finest "Akita Sake Komachi" rice and brewed with "Akitaryu Hana Yeast," this sake captures the essence of Akita's natural blessings. It highlights the rich umami of the "Akita Sake Komachi" rice and the subtle, elegant aroma from the "Akitaryu Hana Yeast." Its balanced acidity delivers a crisp, refreshing finish, making it an ideal companion to a wide variety of dishes.
Shosei has garnered prestigious accolades, including Gold in the "The Fine Sake Award, Japan" in both 2023 and 2024, and Silver at the IWC 2024. Available in 1800ml, 720ml, and 300ml sizes.
Tasting note
Beautiful Ginjo characteristics shine on both the nose and palate, with a moderate aroma, delicate sweetness, crisp acidity, and a silky-smooth finish. The gentle sweetness blossoms on the palate and then gracefully fades away, leaving a lasting impression of refinement.
Food Paring
This sake pairs well with dishes that highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients. For example, it complements snapper sashimi, steamed clams in sake, yakitori, salt-grilled sweetfish or mackerel, and mushroom risotto.
