Umami and acidity are the keys that make this sake addictive when paired with food.

The X3 series is a range of sake from the Kinmon Akita Sake Brewery that use triple the usual amount of koji rice in their production. The result is a rich, umami-packed style of sake. The X3 Blanc stands out for its use of white koji, usually used for making Shochu, that gives it with an invigorating line of acidity.

Staff comments

A sake from the Kinmon Akita Sake Brewery, popular both in Japan and overseas. Sweetness and acidity are accompanied by rich flavours from maturation and Sherry-like aromas. An incredibly original bottling that breaks the mould of what sake can be. Pairs well with stir fries with oyster or black bean sauce and richer Chinese dishes, it’s a great foil for oily dishes, refreshing the palate.
