Detailed tasting notes : The Raifuku Shuzo brewery uses everything that has made its reputation for this sake. Yeasts isolated from flowers, hana kobo (here from abelia flowers), water from Mount Tsukuba, and above all its technical expertise. The polishing rate of 8% is incredible - it takes a tonne to produce 20kg. The result is a sake that is rich, expressive, fruity and floral, but also remarkably delicate and pure. In its box, it will be accompanied by a small pouch containing this famous 8% polished rice !

Recommended pairings : To sublimate this exceptional sake, we recommend refined, delicate food pairings. Its richness and fruity, floral expressiveness are perfect with white fish sashimi, grilled seafood or crisp, fresh vegetable dishes. The delicacy and purity of this sake also make it an ideal companion for soft, creamy cheeses, or light fruit desserts.

About the brewery : Established over 3 centuries ago in Ibaraki prefecture to the north of Tokyo, the Raïfuku brewery benefits from a magnificent environment and very pure water from the Tsukuba mountain. Its speciality is developing and using yeasts from flowers, known as 'Hanakobo' (hana for flower and kobo for yeast). Using different flowers, the brewery produces a wide range of yeasts to create sakes with unique flavour characteristics.
