You have so many choices when it comes to sake, so why should you sample our Sho Chiku Bai Tokubetsu Junmai? The versatility of this unique beverage keeps people coming back to it again and again. It's unlike any type of wine or beer you've tasted before. It has a slight sweetness that gets stronger when you chill it, and when you drink it warm, it gets a little spicier. You'll enjoy these subtle changes throughout your drinking experience — it's one reason people adore our Tokubetsu Junmai sake.
As the word, Tokubetsu means “special,” the sake is created with rice polished to 60%. While it is ideal for food pairing with rich in umami, particularly when served warm, the sake-making combined with the GinJikomi process of low-temperature fermentation provides subtle, fruity flavors with smooth texture and body. It is perfect for serving both chilled or warmed.
Served warm, this premium Junmai sake presents with aromas of warmed buckwheat, spice, damp wood and hot, briny water. Flavors of dried mushroom, spice and dashi prevail. As the sake cools, the flavor focus evolves toward a suggestion of wheat toast, accented by melon, and salted Asian pear.
Served chilled, aromas and flavors of less intensity and a different character emerge; the sake becomes slightly fuller, with aromas and flavors of mineral, vanilla, custard, cinnamon, fresh dough, and toasted rice.
Pay Homage to Japanese Tradition With Tokubetsu Junmai
Many Americans do not know the history of sake in Japan. The beverage is made from fermented rice, and it became popular in the Imperial Court more than 1,000 years ago. Court members indulged in sake during special celebrations, but not at other times. It took centuries for sake to become an everyday part of life.
Today, cultures around the world, including many in the West, have embraced sake. Takara Sake USA Inc. is the United States' number one source for traditional Japanese sake.
