1O years shizuku | The rocks in our surf
shizuku is pleased to recommend to you & your hosts a fine selection of nihonshu, all of which are enjoyable and accessible to sake novices. Guaranteed to be a great conversation piece...
... with soft elegance
Translated as 'The chirping of the nightingale announcing spring', The Shunnouten will win over connoisseurs and the curious alike. An elegant & fresh Junmai Daiginjo, whose fruity flavours evoke springtime feelings - at any time of year. Creamy, smooth & round on the palate, with a crisp & pure umami flavour, a nice, drinkable aperitif even for sake beginners.
... with crisp freshness
Fresh and flowery on the nose, Gekkeikan Daiginjo is reminiscent of white tulips and lime blossom as well as green apples and lychee. The palate surprises with a powerful yet mild explosion of flavour. With its wonderful acidity and long-lasting finish, this sake offers a tangy experience - even in mini size.
... with velvety warmth
The Asahimai Junmai has been with us since the first import, because this velvety, full-bodied Junmai flatters every sake fan. Smooth, with a sweet note and a long-lasting finish, this premium sake made from organic rice is subtly aromatic and has a fresh, minty acidity from cool to hot and is also known among connoisseurs as the 'Fondue Sake'.
... with a harmonious flavour
This Junmai shortly ripened in wooden barrels (Yoshino cedar) refreshes with notes of cedar wood and lavender as well as with a dry, slightly resinous finish. Tangy-fresh, sweet and balanced, Kiku Masamune Taru Sake is also the ideal accompaniment to fish, especially sushi and sashimi, as well as to a juicy ham.
... with a buttery melt
Velvety, almost creamy on the palate, Nouvelle has been delighting us for around 1O years. With tangy notes of nutmeg, cloves, cauliflower and meringue and a fresh acidity & dry finish, this floral Junmai Ginjo is ideal with a risotto or a nice cheese platter.
