Japanese Rice Wine (Sake) list

Hiroki

“Hiroki,” meaning “the joy of dew ascending,” brewed by Hiroki Brewery, a Sake producer in Fukushima Prefecture, rose to fame after being served at the Working Luncheon of the G8 Hokkaido Toyako (Lake Toya) Summit 2008. Mr. Hiroki, owner and “Toji”(chief Sake maker) has a unique philosophy unfettered by thetraditional conventions of the industry. The Sake created through his technique swiftly gained a reputation among fans of boutique Sakes and is now regarded as one of the most sought after labels. Whilst most Sake from the “Tohoku” (north-east) region has a clean palate, “Hiroki” possesses a rare pomp and robustness which evoke a Grand Cru class white wine. Hiroki Shuzou Brewery (Fukushima) / Alc 16%

Toyo Bijin (East Asian Beauty) - Tokugin Banshu Aiyama

Rare “Aiyama” rice grown in Hyogo Prefecture is used as Kake-mai, while the Koji-mai is “Yamada Nishiki” locally harvested in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Both are lavishly polished to 35% and the sake is brewed leisurely at low temperature. Fruity and colorful aromas amuse your senses followed by a transparent elegance and velvety sweetness on the palate. Enjoy Toyo Bijin’s mellow afternote evoking lush fruits. Sumikawa Shuzou (Yamaguchi) / Alc 15%

Hyakunen no Kodoku

Long-established Kuroki Honten Co., Ltd. was founded in 1885, and ever since has been solely devoted to producing Shochu. Since then, as the top-runner of Shochu brewers, they have been producing various Shochus for serious aficionados of this traditional distilled spirit of Japan, including “Hyakunen no Kodoku.” A masterpiece, “Hyakunen no Kodoku” is made from the malt of their barley Shochu “Naka-Naka” for JAL’s Business Class which is matured slowly in American White Oak barrels. The amber liquid created from the leisurely flow of time is the prelude to an exquisitely mellow flavor, which deserves to be a museum piece. You can enjoy the quintessence of this Shochu served straight, on-the-rocks or with mineral water. (In the wintertime, try it blended with hot water and savor the ample aroma.) Kuroki Honten (Miyazaki) / Alc 40%
