Premium SakéOnly top quality products from personal selection

Premium saké from Japan is the perfect pairing to any fine food. We recommend to drink it slightly chilled and enjoy like a fine wine. Premium saké is produced in artisanal way from selected rice and pure spring water from the Japanese mountains. Saké matches fine food by its purity and gives them extra finesse due to its natural umami taste. Saké is free of sulfate and low in acidity and therefore very easily digestible.

Today there are some 1300 family run breweries. They are further developing based on 2000 years of brewing tradition.

Die perfekte Begleitung zu jeder guten Speise ist Premium-Sake aus Japan. Wir empfehlen, ihn kalt zu trinken und wie einen hochwertigen Wein zu genießen. Handwerklich aus erlesenem Reis und reinem Quellwasser der japanischen Berge hergestellt, adelt er Speisen durch seine Reinheit und gibt ihnen durch seinen natürlichen Umami-Geschmack zusätzliche Finesse. Sake ist frei von Schwefel sowie arm an Säure und daher besonders bekömmlich.

Es gibt zur Zeit etwa 1300 familiengeführte Brauereien, die eine 2000-jährige Brautradition in die moderne Zeit überführen.

Classification of Premium Saké Rice polishing ratio defines quality and taste

For high quality saké, the rice is polished before processing in order to obtain the highest possible proportion of the starch, which is concentrated in the centre of the saké rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio, the finer and more aromatic the saké will be.

Für hochwertigen Sake wird der Reis vor dem Verarbeiten poliert, um einen möglichst hohen Anteil der im Reiskern konzentrierten Stärke zu erhalten. Je kleiner der Poliergrad, desto feiner und aromatischer wird der Sake.

Rice polishing ratio (Yamada Nishiki):

100% 50% 35%

Percentages on the bottle show production share in Japan.

All saké in Junmai catego-ries are brewed from po-lished rice and water only. For other premium saké it is allowed to add brewer’s alcohol under 10% of rice weight. For non-premium sake it is allowed to add more alcohol and other ingredients like glutamate.

Amami Kokuto Shochu Kokuto Shochu – the premium spirit from cane sugar

is exclusively produced in the subtropical archipelago in the south of Japan. Kokuto is locally called as „black diamond“ and accompanied well with Kokuto Shochu, like salt and lime with Tequila. The difference to Rum from Molasses is due to the unique mash fermentation. Koji rice (with mould fermented rice) and Kokuto (muscovado) are given in two steps in the mash. Thanks to single distillation, the original flavour keeps in Shochu. Kokuto Shochu has a fine sweet aroma and a mild taste. It contains 25-44% vol. alcohol. For fruity nose, the vacuum distillation will be used for some products. By maturing in steel tank and/or oak barrel the original flavour of premium spirit is developed. Enjoy straight, on the rocks or as base alcohol for cocktails... Kokuto Shochu offers many possibilities to enjoy the precious gift from southern Japan.

Kokuto Shochu - der Edelbrand aus Rohrzucker wird ausschließlich auf dem subtropischen Amami-Archipel im Süden Japans hergestellt. Kokuto, ein unraffiniertes Rohrzuckerprodukt, dort „Schwarzer Diamant“ genannt, wird zu Kokuto Shochu gereicht wie Salz und Limone zu Tequila. Der Unterschied zum Rum aus Melasse liegt in der einzigartigen Maische- gärung: Koji-Reis (mit Schimmelpilz fermentierter Reis) und Kokuto (Rohzucker) werden zweistufig der Maische zugegeben. Dank der einstufigen Destillation bleiben die Eigenschaften der Grundstoffe im fertigen Shochu. Kokuto Shochu zeichnet sich durch feine süßliche Aromen und milden Geschmack aus und hat einen Alkoholgehalt zwischen 25 und 44 %. Um fruchtige Noten zu erzielen, wird für manchen Kokuto Shochu die Vakuumdestillation verwendet. Durch Reifung im Stahltank und/oder im Eichenfass entfaltet sich der Geschmack des Edelbrands weiter. Pur, on the rocks oder als Cocktail-grundlage...Kokuto Shochu bietet viele Möglichkeiten, den kostbaren Geschmack aus Japans Süden zu genießen.

AwamoriDestillier from Okinawa

Awamori is an original Destillier from Okinawa, Japan, which is made from long grain indica rice and black Koji mold. The aging of Awamori „Shitsugi“ is similar as the Solera System of Sherry. The trational clay pots contribute to improve the flavor and mellowness.

Awamori ist ein original Destillat aus Okinawa in Japan, der vom Longkornreis, Indika und Schwarze-Koji-Pilz hergestellt wird. Die Reifung von Awamori „Shitsugi“ ist ähnlich wie das Solera-System von Sherry. Dafür verwendete Ton-Krüge verleihen dem Awamori die Tiefe und Geschmeidigkeit.
