Ishikawa Shuzo Junmai Daiginjo Akaneiro: Elegant, Expressive, and Artfully Crafted

Ishikawa Shuzo Junmai Daiginjo Akaneiro is a refined and visually striking sake from Mie Prefecture, brewed by the historic Ishikawa Brewery. Made with highly polished sake rice at a 50% milling rate and brewed using pure water, this Junmai Daiginjo is presented in a bold red bottle that reflects its name, "Akaneiro," meaning "madder red." With its smooth character and graceful flavor profile, Akaneiro is an excellent expression of Japanese craftsmanship.

On the nose, it offers an elegant bouquet of fresh strawberry, pear, and red cherry, layered with soft floral notes and a touch of creamy rice sweetness. Subtle hints of citrus zest and white blossom add brightness and lift. The palate is silky and well-structured, revealing flavors of ripe orchard fruits, melon, and white peach, supported by refined acidity and a delicate umami core. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of fruit, light mineral tones, and a clean, polished dryness.

Brewed in small batches, Ishikawa Shuzo Junmai Daiginjo Akaneiro showcases the essence of the Junmai Daiginjo category with its clean, fruity profile and gentle complexity. It is best enjoyed chilled to appreciate its full aromatic expression and smooth mouthfeel.

This sake pairs beautifully with fresh sashimi, scallops, poached white fish, or lightly seasoned poultry. It also complements soft cheeses and can elevate celebratory moments with its elegant presentation and balance.
