Premium Japanese Sake – Gunma Izumi Chotoku Junmai (Rich Aromatic Flavor) 720ml

Shimaoka Shuzo’s Chotoku Junmai Sake embodies the essence of premium craftsmanship from Gunma’s renowned sake-making tradition. Crafted with meticulous care using 100% locally sourced Wakamizu rice, this exceptional Junmai showcases a harmonious blend of earthy depth and vibrant fruitiness. Brewed via the authentic Yamahai method, it delivers a rich, velvety texture layered with notes of roasted carrot, earthy mushrooms, and sweet potato, balanced by ripe tropical flavors of peach and papaya.

What sets Chotoku apart is its exceptional 50% rice polishing ratio—far exceeding the standard Junmai requirement of 70%—resulting in a concentrated yet light-bodied sip that lingers with a crisp, mineral-driven finish. Whether enjoyed chilled to highlight its bright acidity or gently warmed to amplify its umami depth, this sake adapts seamlessly to any occasion.

Ideal for savoring alongside bold dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses, it offers an elevated drinking experience rooted in Gunma’s terroir. With an alcohol content of 15-16%, it strikes a perfect balance between approachability and complexity. For sake enthusiasts seeking a versatile bottle that marries tradition with modern flavor profiles, Chotoku stands out as a testament to artisanal brewing excellence.
