Shichiken – Hakushin Junmai Daiginjo

When you decant this sake, you can taste the meltwater of the Japanese Alps. A rather sweet and aromatic flavour profile, appropriate for this refined, elegant sake. By aging the sake for 1 year at -5 degrees C, you can see the energy and richness of nature over your entire pallet. Limited batches of Yumesansui rice are very carefully and slowly polished to an extremely fine residual percentage of 27%. Shichiken has reduced the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers for the production of the rice to less than half of the regulated amount. The power of nature, fed by the water of Mount Kaikoma in the Japanese Alps, is used for the optimal cultivation of the local sake rice. In a world where organic sake is extremely rare, Shichiken is thinking about the future. The label of this beautiful bottle was designed by the artist Ena Furuya. She is the master of the traditional Roketsu technique, a kind of indigo textile dyeing. The imposing white mountain in silhouette that adorns the sake bottle embodies strength on the one hand and softness and delicate complexity on the other. Combining the natural beauty of Yamanashi, the art of sake brewing, and the traditional roketsu dyeing technique, this collaboration is the ultimate artisanal sophistication.
