    The ninth release in the Wakazo Project, this year’s edition embraces a traditional wine technique — Assemblage — to create a sake with a uniquely complex flavor profile. Assemblage involves blending different base sakes to highlight each component’s individuality, producing aromas and tastes that cannot be achieved by a single sake alone.

    Through careful experimentation and precise blending ratios, Takasago has combined the aromatic nuance and acidity from wine yeast with the crisp, dry umami characteristic of Wakazo BLACK, resulting in a sake of singular, distinguished character.

    This Limited Blend is a remarkable example of innovation in sake, offering a rich, layered, and harmonious tasting experience that celebrates both tradition and creativity.

    Size 720ml

    Produced in the picturesque hills of Biei, Hokkaido, this unique snow-aged sake is freshly pressed and stored whole in tanks buried under the winter snow. It matures slowly and gently through the thawing spring, resulting in a remarkably refined flavor.

     

    Tasting Profile:
    This sake features a mellow, umami-rich body with a crisp, clean finish, making it especially refreshing when served chilled. Perfect for summer enjoyment, it delivers a cool, invigorating experience in every sip.

     

    About Snow-Aged Sake:
    Since 1997, Takasago Shuzo has embraced the natural power of the region to enhance its brewing. By burying tanks in snow, the temperature inside is maintained around -2°C, shielding the sake from external temperature fluctuations and preventing air convection. This stable, natural environment ensures a gentle and consistent maturation, resulting in a sake with delicate flavor and balanced character.
