JUNMAI DAI GINJO KAZE

Crisp & Elegant

JUNMAI DAI GINJO KAZE

Long and luscious crafting, this is sake by design. Powerful Junmai Dai Ginjo is unique and rare, offering a refreshing, lucid expression of the geographical reality of the Kakizaki region.

Reimagining a summer breeze blown down from the Japanese alpine range, this one-of-a-kind sake cleanses and tightens the senses with crisp, clear air on a briny note. Followed by a whiff of vanilla, the mouthfeel teeters along the melon line into a compelling mango character, weaving through hazelnut twists. Supremely gracious, this succulent and clear finish is elegantly restrained, manifesting Kubiki’s brewing foundation upon which its reputation is built.

JUNMAI WAKIMIZU NAMA

Velvety & Sweet

JUNMAI WAKIMIZU NAMA

Tuned to the point of friskiness, this utterly charming, unpasteurised sake lives in the fabric of Kubiki’s DNA. Compressed within is the zesty spring and concentrated flavour of peach and melon that opens up the palate, coiled inside the velvety coat of a sweet, rich, syrupy texture.

A considerable depth in structural complexity and vitality are writ large across the mid palate, entertaining a creamy mouthfeel before finishing with the long and lasting impression of sweet roasted chestnut and coconut.
