A miracle bestowed on a 1995 vintage,” a once-in-a-lifetime bottle
Twenty years since the initial brewing process began in 1995, Gengai has aged into a markedly complex and dimensional miracle, with sweet, tart, bitter and umami weaving together in each sip. Gengai is the epitome of vintage sake – a bittersweet reminder that even unthinkable disaster can birth once-in-a-lifetime greatness.
Mature mellowness meets a graceful aroma
A deep and alluring amber in color, Gengai entices with a mellow and multilayered aroma and flavors. On the tongue, a graceful sweetness and umami with a pleasing tartness. Sweet, tart, bitter and umami become one with a mature mellowness and clarity of flavor.
Patience and time yield greatness
When aged under appropriate conditions, sake undergoes chemical reactions that imbue deeper, more complex flavors and entrancing colors. With long gestation, a vintage can also develop surprising clarity and dignified, regal flavors. These changes cannot be purposefully induced and the exact outcome of the aging process is something only time and nature decide.

$788.00SAKE HUNDRED 思凛 | SHIRIN
Elegance, provided by nature
With Shirin, raw sake rice is polished to 18% for a pronounced clarity of flavor before storage in a mizunara Hokkaido Japanese oak barrel. Hokkaido, known for its pristine natural environs and rural charm, produces these oak barrels that imbue the sake with a forest-like aroma and open the door to a new world of sake.
A new elegance born of oak
Shirin promises layers of scent and flavor. The flavor is bold and tart in the mouth, smooth and creamy, with pleasant, smoky notes from oak cask storage, intriguing bitterness and hints of mineral. The flavors are in superb balance, playing off the nuances imparted by oak casks for a truly novel experience.
Nine-day oak storage brings exquisite aroma
Stored as raw sake in oak barrels for nine days, Shirin unabashedly takes on woody nuance. A strong oak flavor at three to four days melts into the sake at five or more, bringing flavors that surprise even the brewers themselves.
