Senkin Modern is a sake which expresses the nature of Yamadanishiki rice which is one of the most popular sake rice varieties to have been developed during modern times. This grain is often referred to as the “King of Sake Rice” and this sake is fermented with Kimoto starter techniques, and without additives, to produce a supple, smooth sake showing rich fruity aromas of green grape, juicy nashi pear and white peach. There are deeper hints of persimmon and some lactic creaminess that emerges on a medium long finish which is wrapped up by the signature Senkin acidity.
This sake is first released in the brewing season as an unpasteurised or Namazake showing more palate vibrancy and sometimes zesty mouthfeel. Later in the season the sake will undergo a single pasteurisation after a short period of storage to allow us to enjoy Senkin Modern throughout the year. We recommend this sake to be served and stored cold in refrigeration.
