The sumptuous nose full of floral and fruit notes enraptures you after which the perfectly balanced pallet and endless finish makes this sake as perfect in every way. Chilled but not too cold in the Sophienwald sake glass or in a Burgundy wine glass, this sake comes into its own. Made for big sake lovers but also for anyone who likes beautiful complex gossamer pure wines, who is open to non-wood-aged and has the will to taste beyond acids that are less prominent in a lot of sake.
Adatara Ginjo from Okunomatsu was named as Japan best sake in 2018. The sake won the prize at the most prestigious sake blind tasting in the world, the International Wine Challenge, where no less than 1639 top sake were submitted. Lots of fruit such as melon, pear and lychee in the aroma and on the pallet with subtle, beautiful acidity that accentuates the fine flavours nicely. A lovely clean aftertaste completes this one.This sake can be drunk on its own but also tastes great with cheese and lighter dishes. This sake is best enjoyed cold in a sake/wine glass.

Surprising possibilities to serve with different dishes through variation of serving temperature. Toshimaya Brewery in Nagano has been producing artisanal sake since 1891 on the shores of the mystical Suwa Lake. With an annual production of just 1700 koku, it is a true craft brewery led by Toji Komatsu Yukio and guided by the vision of the young president. The brewery uses water sourced from Mount Hachi Buse, carefully balancing minerals such as magnesium and potassium to suit the yeast starter. The rice is cultivated locally by contracted farmers, creating a strong bond between the growers and the brewer, a connection proudly celebrated in the tasting room where the farmers’ portraits are displayed. Alongside classic rice types like Miyama Nishiki, Yamada Nishiki and Kinmon Nishiki, local varieties including Takane Nishiki, Shirakaba Nishiki and Hitogokochi are also used. The brewery is further distinguished by a private collection of Samurai armour housed in a hidden museum and has earned repeated gold medals at the International Wine Challenge.
