Haregi Ryu Wine Cask Aged Kimoto Tokubetsu Junmai Genshu
A sake combining the depth of fermentation in Kioke and maturation in wine casks. Mature aromas worth taking the time to enjoy.
Haregi Ryu is a collaborative project bringing together the sake of the Fujii Sake Brewery, make of “Ryusei”, and maturation in wine casks. Using wine barrels previously used to mature white wine in the South of France. The result is a sake greater than the sum of its parts, with distinctive notes of barrel ageing. The sake wears these aromas just as if it is putting on a kimono for a special occasion, inspiring the label design of this series. Combining classic kimoto sake brewing with the new concept of wine barrel ageing has given birth to a whole new kind of sake.

Concentrated citrus fruit, dried mangoes and kumquat are intertwined with mature notes of mushroom and dark chocolate, with complex nuances of vanilla and melted butter from wine cask ageing, culminating in a long, dry finish. A whole new world of sake that you won’t be able to taste anywhere else.
