From fresh and floral to round and powdery to aromatic and smooth...
Why decide when you can try different tastes?

The MINIS with their big performance
Discover the minis and enjoy your small, fine sake tasting.
Our little ones are waiting for their great appearance - for maximum palate pleasure!

Kokuryu Gin no Tobira
The new little star! Light, fruity and at the same time aromatic, this Daiginjo is directly reminiscent of a Riesling. Fresh and elegantly mineral, a drinkable, beautifully balanced drop, which in the mini format is one of the greats.

Gekkeikan Daiginjo mini
Fresh and floral on the nose, this complex sake seduces on the palate with a mild taste explosion as well as a pronounced acidity and a lingering aftertaste.

Daiginjo Hiyashibori mini
This multilayered and powerful drop indulges with a fruity bouquet followed by sweet yet tangy notes, reminiscent of wood and black bitter chocolate.

Goriki Junmai Ginjo mini
A breeze of lilac, fruity as well as bitter-sweet and exotic tangy. This lively, racy and expressive Junmai Ginjo surprises with a present acidity as well as a velvety melt.

Yatsushika Sparkling Niji mini
Let it sparkle with this exemplary Sparkling sake with natural bottle fermentation. A refreshing and fruity-sweet aperitif drink, slightly sparkling and with low alcohol content.

Cup Sake Yuki Otoko
Kanpai with this round, powdery, fresh as well as vivid Junmai. Rather sweet, creamy, tangy-bitter and with a long finish the perfect all-rounder in a practical drinking glass for enjoyment on the go.

Snow. Icy cold. Only the frosty wind laughs.
Perfect conditions to snuggle up and enjoy a hearty, warmed drop of Japan...

And it warms the sake heart!
Drinking nihonshu skillfully warm is a true drinking experience. Because at different drinking temperature, the same sake can develop different aromas and flavours. Give it a try and treat yourself to some warmth - Japanese style.

Fruity and versatile
New in our lineup is the Kuzuryu Ippin. Slightly sweet, fruity, with a soft texture and crisp, spicy flavours, an exciting pairing partner with a good dose of umami.

Velvety and full-bodied
Smooth, with a sweet note and a long lasting finish, the Asahimai Junmai flatters. A premium sake made from organic rice, subtly aromatic, with a fresh, minty acidity.

Round and flavourful
The rather dry Inatahime Ryokan scores slightly salty, even leathery on the nose and surprises on the palate with flavours of lime blossom, soja, bitter chocolate, coffee, tobacco and nutmeg.

Aromatic and powerful
Tangy, oily, smoky and with lots of umami? Then the Goriki Junmai is right up your alley. Intense notes from paprika to olive tapenade to smoked ham make this sake an exciting food companion.

Or degree after degree of mature elegance
Despite its maturity, the Kuzuryu Daiginjo smells pleasantly light and fruity. Its elegant, smooth flavour spreads delicately across the palate as drinking temperature rises, creating a comforting, suitably velvety sensation.

New inspirations, new discoveries, new taste experiences....
You are exactly right with shizuku!

We are happy to recommend a few handpicked premium drops, from light to powerful, so that your sake year begins excitingly and remains tastefully in memory...

The sparkling aperitif
Refreshing and fruity-sweet, Yatsushika Sparkling Niji is the perfect aperitif drink. Sweet on the nose, fruity and fresh on the palate, slightly sparkling and with low alcohol content, this Sparkling Sake with natural bottle fermentation surprises bubble by bubble.

The jewel of a sake
Our newcomer, the Kokuryu Ryu Daiginjo, convinces with amazing complexity and its lively appearance. Elegantly rounded and gently aromatic, this drop will spoil any sake lover with a concise bouquet and a long aftertaste.

The red rice nihonshu
The X3 Rose immediately reminds of a rosé because of its noble color. Brewed from red rice (Menkoina) and triple the amount of koji, this complex Junmai convinces with elegance, a balanced flavour intensity, combined with a delicate sweetness as well as a nice, light acidity until the long-lasting finish.

The adventure with a lot of umami
The Kozaemon Yamahai Junmaiis a real taste expedition! With intense, earthy flavors and plenty of umami, this sake pairs sensationally with hearty dishes. If it would be the T-bone steak or a juicy sausage from the grill in summer, it is now the aromatic Bündner barley soup with bacon.

The mini-tasting for maximum relish
Why decide when you can try different tastes? Enjoy your small, fine tasting at home and discover maximum relish with our minis. From fresh and flowery to round and powdery to aromatically quaffable - our little ones are waiting to make their grand entrance!

Hard shell, enjoyable core...
Time to drop the crispy shells for new mystery & flavourful excitement!

MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku - The rock lobster dropped by Japan

He loves food, he loves cooking and he enjoys sake.
Meikel - Graphic Designer, DJ and Sake Addict - tries out, combines and discovers.

This time: A crispy lobster, bedded on Riso Venere, combined with a spicy pea puree and pickled peach, on a light and aromatic spuma made of boiled fish stock, a little cream & a dash of lemon - that's it.
Aside: The impressive Junmai Ginjo Kokuryu Jungin. Fresh & lively, at the same time flavourful & dynamic, this beautiful all-rounder is the ideal food companion and unfolds at room temperature a mysteriously beautiful harmony...

Culinary conclusion: 'Break out is the motto in this delicat menu. Colorful contrasts meet fireworks for the senses. A rather light dish, somewhat sweet, slightly fruity, with a nutty character - and with bite!
And also the newcomer 'Jungin' gains to the lobster degree by degree in exciting, aromatic presence.
On the fork and in the glass, a fascinating development takes place, harmonious and mutually supportive - perfectly inspiring for everything new that awaits us...', Meikel smiles happily.

As simple. As good. MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku.
