ZAKU IMPRESSION M JUNMAI GINJO GENSHU 作Impression-H 純米無濾過直汲原酒 750ml

Brewed by Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten (清水清三郎商店) in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Zaku “Impression H” (作 Impression H 純米 無濾過直汲原酒) represents the adventurous, small-batch side of the Zaku brand. Known for its clean yet vibrant style, Zaku continues to redefine modern sake with precision and innovation.

The “H” stands for Heart — a sake that captures the heartbeat of fresh brewing. Bottled directly from the press (直汲 Chokkaku) and left unfiltered (Muroka) and undiluted (Genshu), it offers a pure, high-impact expression of freshly fermented sake. Expect an aromatic burst of green apple, pear, and citrus, followed by a juicy, slightly effervescent palate with crisp acidity and deep umami. Dynamic, clean, and alive.
