Brewed by Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten (清水清三郎商店) in Mie Prefecture, Zaku Junmai Daiginjo Kaizan Itttekisui (作 槐山一滴水) is a masterwork that represents both precision and purity. Its name, “Kaizan Itttekisui” (槐山一滴水), translates to “One Drop of Water from Kaizan”, symbolising clarity, simplicity, and natural grace — the soul of Zaku’s brewing philosophy.

Crafted from premium Yamada Nishiki rice, polished to 40%, this Junmai Daiginjo reveals a captivating bouquet of white peach, melon, and jasmine, unfolding into a silky, refined palate with subtle sweetness and lingering umami. Perfectly balanced and elegant, it embodies the essence of Zaku — modern, minimal, and spiritual.
