Shichiken Emperor Sake

Cloudy, lightly effervescent Junmai with agreeable fruity aromas. Dedicated to Emperor Meiji, who held a harvest ceremony at one of the rice fields of Shichiken Brewery - it is this very field where the rice for this sake is grown. On the palate, the sake is soft and has a delicate tartness which punctuates a full mouthfeel, showing notes of green apple, rice, jogurt, quince and rhubarb. Pairs well with fried and spicy dishes, from south east Asian curries to Korean fried chicken.

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...
