Sharp, clean-lined and elegantly dry — a premium Kochi sake crafted for serious enjoyment.
Brewed by Suigei Brewing Co. in Kochi Prefecture, this Tokubetsu Junmai (special pure rice sake) is known for its crisp finish and high drinkability. 

With a rice-polishing ratio of around 55 % and an SMV (Sake Meter Value) of +7, it delivers subtle rice aroma, bright acidity, and an unmistakably dry, clean finish. 

Tasting Profile:

  • 🍶 Type: Tokubetsu Junmai Sake (特別純米酒)

  • 🌾 Rice Polishing: ~55% (varies by batch) 

  • 💠 Flavour & Aroma: Gentle rice fragrance, hints of wild herbs and unripe strawberry, crisp dry finish. 

  • 🔸 ABV: ~15 %

  • 🌡️ Recommended Serve: Lightly chilled (10-15 °C) to enjoy its crispness, or gently warmed (~40 °C) for a richer palate. 

  • 🍱 Pairing Suggestions: Tempura, sashimi, nimono (braised dishes), or oily foods — its crisp acidity cuts through richness effortlessly. 

Why It Stands Out:

  • 🐋 Named “Drunken Whale” (Suigei) — inspired by Kochi’s coastal tradition and legends. 

  • 🇯🇵 Represents the bold, dry style of sake from Kochi Prefecture — popular among drinkers who prefer crisp, less-sweet profiles.

  • ✨ Versatile and food-friendly — designed to pair with a wide range of dishes rather than dominate them.

  • 🎁 Stylish gift option for sake enthusiasts looking for something refined yet approachable.
