KIZAKURA Sake Junmai Reshu 16% Vol. 20x180ml

KIZAKURA Sake Junmai Reshu (1 Carton (20 Pieces)) – Kizakura Junmai

Kizakura has been brewing in Kyoto's Fushimi district, one of Japan's most famous sake regions, since 1925. This is due to the soft spring water of Fushimizu, which gives the region's sake its soft character. This Junmai contains no added brewer's alcohol – only rice, koji, and water. This makes it fuller and more umami-rich than a Honjozo. The carton with 20 bottles of 180 ml is the single portion for restaurants, tastings, and gift boxes. You can find more from the same region among our Japanese beverages.

Frequently asked questions about Kizakura Junmai

What does Junmai mean?

Junmai literally means pure rice. No brewer's alcohol is added to this sake; it consists only of rice, rice koji, and water. The result is fuller, rounder, and more umami-rich than a Honjozo.

How is Junmai sake best drunk?

Lightly chilled at 5 to 10 °C or on ice. Unlike Honjozo, Junmai is best enjoyed cold because the rice aromas remain clearer.

What does Junmai sake pair with?

With heartier dishes: grilled fish, yakitori, tempura, aged cheese. For sashimi and very light dishes, a Honjozo is often the finer choice.

How long does an opened bottle last?

Sake is not wine – after opening, it belongs in the refrigerator and should be drunk within a few days. With 180 ml, this usually takes care of itself.

Why 180 ml instead of 720 ml?

180 ml corresponds to a classic Japanese portion, the Go. For restaurants, this is the most practical unit because each bottle is freshly opened.

How long does delivery to Switzerland take?

We ship from our warehouse in Switzerland. Your order is usually with you in 1 to 3 business days. Shipping for this container is free as it is above our CHF 50 threshold.

What is the minimum age to order?
