Takashimizu Junmaishu Gentei (高清水 純米酒 限定)

Takashimizu Junmaishu Gentei is a refined sake produced by Akita Shurui Seizoh. Leveraging Akita's characteristic cold climate and traditional brewing techniques, this product is crafted using the low-temperature fermentation method. By polishing the rice to 60 percent, the brewery ensures a clean and sophisticated profile that exceeds the expectations of a standard Junmaishu. This sake prioritizes the natural umami and subtle sweetness of the grain over intense aromatics. As indicated by the term Gentei, it is produced in limited batches with rigorous ingredient selection and temperature control. The resulting smooth texture and the signature clean finish of Akita-style sake represent the authentic quality of the region.
