Distilled Alcohol

Shizuku is a labor-intensive method of filtering. Instead of being pressed, the sake is hung in small bags and allowed to drip through the cloth naturally. This sake is usually reserved for competitions, but luckily for us (and you!) this fantastic sake is also available to buy. Extremely delicate and fruit forward, this sake is easy to appreciate yet complex. Comes in a wooden box and makes a beautiful present. Enjoy chilled in a wine glass.

Tasting Notes

Opening with a pronounced, fruit-forward nose of apple, pear, bubblegum and strawberry this sake is incredibly intricate beautifully and expertly displaying the depth and elegance of Yamada Nishiki rice in a very delicate, subtle profile. A beautifully crafted ornate piece of art that delights the senses.

Brewery Story

A Traditional Type of Sake

While Ota Shuzo's Hanzo & brand is a very modern take on sake, their Hanzo brand is a traditional sake line that highlights local Mie ingredients. The Hanzo brand was established 25 years ago and named after the legendary Hattori Hanzo, who hailed from the Iga area where the brewery is located. He was was also the most famous Ninja of his time and retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the famous unifier of Japan. This sake is a competition sake that is not made by pressing the fermentation mash, but by filling it in bags and letting it drip through. That is significantly more labor intensive, but the result is supremely smooth and delicious.
