The sister flagship sake of Nizaemon, this rare, limited release Junmai Daiginjo ‘Ishidaya’ bears part of the name of Kokuryu’s founding father. This sake is made using low temperature fermentation techniques and after careful filtering it is matured for around three years below zero degrees. This gentle extended maturation time leads to a sake with a defined elegant character, smooth, mellow and full flavoured, which leans towards a drier presentation. Japanese nashi pear and yellow apple present on the palate and it’s best served chilled, drinking from tulip shaped glassware to capture the enticing aromas.

This sake is made from Yamada Nishiki rice grown in the premium rice fields of Tojo district in Hyogo Prefecture, polished to 35% of its original grain size.

This sake is presented in a distinctive blue glass bottle with hand drawn and applied kanji label.
