In 3 words: Mountain stream clean

Located in untouched forest at the Northern tip of Yamanashi, just downstream from the famous Hakushu Whiskey distillery, Shichiken uses some of the purest water in Japan. The fresh water flows directly off Mount Kaikoma, filtering through layers of 10 million year old granite, and combined with locally grown rice and long-slow fermentation results in sake with sublime acidity that makes it both sharp and fresh. This set includes three premium grade brews that showcase the natural resources of the region and deft techniques of this small brewery.

In 3 words: Clean, smooth caramel

Aromas & flavours: 🍌🍯🍭🍩

Light on the nose, this soft, smooth brew belies it's rather modest polishing ratio to deliver beautiful caramel and toffee notes. Works wonderfully gently warmed, and reminiscent of porridge with honey on a chilly Winter's morning. This must also be tried warm for the full experience.
