Style: Aromatic

Aromatic sake captivates with its delicate yet expressive bouquet, offering floral, fruity, and refined nuances that elevate the drinking experience. Typically crafted using highly polished rice and low-temperature fermentation, these sakes—such as Ginjo and Daiginjo—boast elegant aromas of melon, pear, apple, and delicate blossoms.

The purity of Niigata’s pristine waters and cool climate yields crisp, fragrant expressions, while regions like Hiroshima and Yamagata, known for their soft water and precise brewing techniques, produce sakes with a gentle sweetness and refined acidity. These aromatic styles are best enjoyed chilled, allowing their intricate flavors and aromas to unfold with each sip.

Perfectly suited for fine dining, aromatic sakes pair harmoniously with fresh seafood, delicate appetizers, and refined Japanese cuisine. Their graceful profiles enhance the subtleties of each dish, creating a symphony of flavors that celebrate Japan’s dedication to craftsmanship and elegance.
