1O years shizuku - The rocks in our surf
To select favorites would be impossible. But there are drops, which have accompanied us over the last 1O years, fascinated us again and again or inspired us anew.
1O years shizuku | The rocks in our surf
Enjoy with us a journey across Japan & time and let the 'old ones' inspire you anew. Kanpai with the first five recommendations...
The little fat one
This is how the 'Edo' is usually affectionately called ;) The amber Shirayuki Edo Genroku, fermented in wooden barrels (taru), surprises salty on the nose and sweet on the palate. This strong as well as flattering Junmai is complex & layered, with a long, salty-sweet haze. The perfect dessert & popular with our connoisseurs for years.
The hearty goodness
In terms of family and taste, the Inata Honten Brewery has grown close to our hearts over the years. Here, authentic brewing is still lived and brewed for the moment of enjoyment, as with Goriki Junmai Ginjo. Racy, expressive, life in the glass. Enjoy fruity-sweetish and slightly tangy, with a present acidity.
The feminine touch
Out of over a thousand sake breweries in Japan, one small one stands out, as Shotoku Brewery was run by a passionate woman for over 1O years. Skillfully and with much love, she and her small team created tastefully impressive sake, such as Karaku Amakuchi. Vivid & lively, combined with a balanced acidity and long in the finish, a beautiful fruity monument.
The Japanese Seduction
A fresh and balanced acidity and an extremely seductive bouquet describe the feel-good moment with the Kozaemon Akaiwa Omachi, brewed by the small family brewery Nakashima. This very complex, full-bodied and velvety Junmai Daiginjo also pleases our palate, mild, pleasantly fruity and with a welcome elegance.
The sweet plum
When we are on the road, so is the Ohako Umeshu. Whether pure, on the rocks or meanwhile often seen as an exciting ingredient in cocktails - this unique plum liqueur is the sweet favorite at shizuku and since the beginning always at our side. An excellent umeshu, strong & fruity, with a complex, tangy note in the long finish.
