Kimpoku. Like its sibling bottlings, it favors a gentle, narrative-like progression from aroma to palate to finish rather than any single bold note, reflecting the brewery's focus on craftsmanship and the terroir of Sado Island.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenryohai Shuzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588992270566,"sku":"SKE-603","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2697\/3158\/files\/SKE-603-web.jpg?v=1790620685"},{"product_id":"tenryohai-utashiro-hiyori-beautiful-day","title":"Tenryohai Utashiro Hiyori ‘Beautiful Day’","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eUtashiro Hiyori (\"Beautiful Day\"), from Tenryohai Shuzo's Gagakudai series, is a direct-pressed nakadori (middle-cut) sake bottled unpasteurized at a notably gentle 12.5% ABV. Where much of Niigata sake leans light and crisp (tanrei), Hiyori pushes that further into new territory: a light, subtly sweet, easy-drinking style built for casual, any-occasion sipping. The nose opens with hints of green banana, then a soft effervescence carries through delicate sweetness and rice-driven umami, tightened at the close by a clean, crisp acidity. Brewed by Tenryohai Shuzo on Sado Island under the leadership of young president Senichi Kato, who took over the near-shuttered brewery in 2018 and revived it around the guiding idea of \"brewing smiles.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenryohai Shuzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588992827622,"sku":"SKE-604","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2697\/3158\/files\/SKE-604-web.jpg?v=1790620821"},{"product_id":"ilaka-sake-atelier-silver-black","title":"Ilaka Sake Atelier Silver-Black","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eIlaka Sake Atelier is Japan's newest sake brewery, born in November 2024 when master brewer Katsumi Tanaka (formerly head toji at Daishinshu for roughly 30 years) and representative Keisuke Sato revived the license of a 1665-founded kura and rebuilt it from scratch in Matsukawa Village, Nagano - a village with no prior brewing history but some of the country's purest \"ultra-soft\" spring water, filtered for 20 years through 300-million-year-old bedrock beneath the Northern Alps. Silver-Black (Gin-Kuro) is the brewery's flagship, the most balanced expression in its five-strong Silver (Gin) series, brewed from specially cultivated Hitogokochi rice and pressed at sub-zero temperatures (-5°C) to lock in delicate volatile aromatics. Light and immediately appealing, with fresh apple, banana, and pear on the nose, natural rice sweetness and umami up front, and a light, dry, gently effervescent finish.
