Ikekame Barrel

A rare sake made with black koji and matured in new French oak barrels. This maturation gives the sake a sweet and luxurious aroma. Delicate notes of flowers, with a hint of vanilla and coconut from the barrel as well as a fine acidity and rich umami brought about by the black koji enrich this sake's flavor and are reminiscent of the elegance of a high-quality white wine. To be enjoyed in a wine glass.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
