Tasting Notes

Fresh, pure aromatics of lemon lime, celery, tarragon, lily, pear and nectarine.  Very wine-like on the palate, dry to off dry with an impression of ripe guava, lemon lime, with a lovely lingering dry finish.

Brewery Description

Tsuji Zenbei was founded in the mid-18th century, and the family has passed down the brewing traditions to the current young owner of the brewery, who represents the 16th generation. The brewery is surrounded by very soft local well-water that allows the sake to have more umami flavor profiles.  They’ve found a following with a younger population of sake drinkers in Japan.
