Imayo Tsukasa Black

This extremely dry junmai sake (SMV +18) is aimed at advanced connoisseurs. Presented in an elegant black bottle, it is a strikingly linear, no-frills expression of sake. On the palate, it combines intense umami with a razor-sharp, clear kire finish. Aromatically, it offers notes of shiitake mushrooms, puffed rice, roasted barley tea, and fresh parsley. Unsurprisingly, it is dry on the palate, with fine nutty nuances. Particularly harmonious when paired with fatty yakiniku or grilled fish.

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...
