Ikekame Turtle Blue

It is said in Japan that turtles are the bearers of good luck and have come to represent longevity. Drinking Turtle Blue, one can imagine being blessed by such a beverage. This is a classic Daiginjo, elegant and fine in texture and length, with elevated notes of juicy apple, pear, strawberry and melon, and showing great depth on the palate with the character of roses, licorice, and sandalwood. And as a super expressive Sake, Turtle Blue is at home accompanying varied robust dishes from salmon teriyaki to tempura to miso-glazed chicken. So, try out the authentic taste of IKEKAME for yourself!

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...
