Sakeberto Junmai embodies the purity and elegance of true Japanese sake-making. Brewed using time-honored techniques, pristine water, and premium-grade rice, this sake celebrates balance, craftsmanship, and authenticity. Free from added alcohol or sugars, it reflects the essence of the rice itself — offering a clean, full-bodied taste with a soft, lingering umami finish.

Each bottle of Sakeberto Junmai tells a story of dedication. The brewing process begins with carefully polished rice, steamed and fermented using natural koji mold and yeast under the watchful eye of skilled toji (brewmasters). The result is a smooth and round profile — delicate yet complex — with subtle hints of melon, rice grain, and white flowers on the nose.

Tasting Notes

Pairing Recommendations

Sakeberto Junmai’s versatility makes it an ideal companion to both traditional Japanese and global cuisine. It pairs beautifully with:

• Sushi and Sashimi: Enhances the delicate flavors of raw fish without overpowering.

• Grilled Seafood: Complements the light smokiness of dishes like yakizakana or scallops.

• Tempura and Light Fried Dishes: The crisp acidity cuts through oils, refreshing the palate.

• Cheese and Charcuterie: Its umami backbone pairs surprisingly well with creamy cheeses and cured meats.

• Vegetable Dishes: Ideal with miso eggplant, roasted mushrooms, or tofu-based entrées.
