A Junmai ginjo made from Akita prefecture's own “Gin no Sei” brewing rice. An easy
drinking sake characterised by delicate aromas and a pronounced umami flavour. Pairs very well with Japanese food.

There are only four breweries that regularly supply sake for the Imperial household. Nihonsakari is one brewery to be so honored for over 100 years. This special sake called Souhana was permitted to be sold to the public for the first time in 1970.

This most superior sake has been used ever since by the Imperial family for important events such as the enthronement of Emperor Taisho and Showa; almost all weddings of the Imperial family; official welcome parties for state guests; and in 2019 the enthronement of the new Emperor of Japan.

The sake name means velvet taste. A fruit-forward bouquet of pear followed by black pepper and mint. Smooth, off-dry, low acidity with medium body, lots of umami and a medium finish with a hint of tomato leaf. The structure is firm with some corners. A subtle sake packed with flavor as a result of a long careful ferment at low temperatures.

Chill and put in a wine glass to fully appreciate the aroma. Pair with meat dishes like roast beef.
