Description

Indulge in the sublime taste of the KEIGETSU Gin-no-Yume Junmai Daiginjo 45, a distinguished sake from the Kōchi Prefecture of Japan, crafted with a meticulous approach that highlights the precision of Japanese brewing traditions. This 30cl bottle holds within it a world of refined flavors that guarantee an exceptional drinking experience. Every sip is an invitation to explore a complex profile that balances delicacy with depth.

The exquisite aromas unfold with:

  • Bright citrus zest intertwined with fresh lychee and delicate floral notes of jasmine.

On the palate, this off-dry sake presents a smooth, light body characterized by:

  • A beautiful balance of subtle rice umami and crisp mineral notes.

For optimal enjoyment, we recommend serving this delicate sake at approximately 10°C in a tulip-shaped glass. This enhances the aromatic nuances while ensuring a silky tasting experience. To elevate your presentation:

  • Serve in a beautifully arranged setting with a gold or lacquered tray paired with minimalist porcelain cups.
  • Garnish with a twist of yuzu peel or a single sakura flower petal for visual flair and an uplifting fragrance.

This sake is ideally paired with:

  • Seasonal sashimi for a refreshing complement to the delicate notes.
  • Lightly grilled white fish or tempura vegetables that respect its nuanced profile.
  • For an inventive approach, consider crafting a refreshing sake cocktail using chilled cucumber juice, elderflower liqueur, and a mint sprig, served over clear ice.

Whether enjoyed in the tranquil setting of an intimate gathering or during a celebratory feast, the KEIGETSU Gin-no-Yume Junmai Daiginjo 45 encapsulates the perfect fusion of tradition and modern elegance, making each moment truly memorable.

Storage advice

For optimal storage of sake maintain a cool temperature around 5°C to 15°C avoiding high or fluctuating temperatures that accelerate quality deterioration. Keep the bottle upright as sake bottles typically do not use corks so humidity is not a concern and upright positioning prevents excess air exposure.

Protect the sake from light exposure especially ultraviolet rays by storing it in a brown or green bottle away from direct sunlight; if the bottle is transparent or green keep it in its original outer packaging (box or paper) to block light.

Ensure the bottle is properly sealed—most sake bottles have screw caps or other airtight closures but avoid opening the bottle until consumption to prevent oxidation risks.

For unopened bottles storage in a dark cool place such as a refrigerator or a temperature-controlled cellar is preferred. For opened bottles reseal tightly and refrigerate consuming within a few days to a week to maintain flavor since sake is sensitive to air after opening.

Humidity control is generally unnecessary due to non-cork closures. Avoid temperature fluctuations or high temperatures to prevent undesirable flavor and aroma changes.
