ITTEKI NYUKON JUNMAI GINJO 一滴入魂 純米吟釀 720ml
Brewed by Tenzan Shuzo (天山酒造) in Saga Prefecture, Itteki Nyukon (一滴入魂) literally means “one drop, infused with soul.” It embodies the brewery’s devotion to precision and passion — crafting sake that reflects sincerity, balance, and harmony.
This Junmai Ginjo is made with carefully polished Yamada Nishiki rice (55%) and pure spring water from the mountains of Saga. It opens with a gentle aroma of melon, apple, and steamed rice, followed by a smooth, rounded palate and a crisp, clean finish. Elegant and versatile, it’s a sake that quietly captivates with purity and depth.
