"Cult Sake" producer Zaku, is well-known among Sake collectors. Indulge in this exquisite and limited run sake. Their light and delicate yet impactful style, sends you head over heels. Selection N" is a rare, personal expression of the craftsmanship of sake. Zaku invited their renowned Master Brewer (Toji), Tomohiro Uchiyama, to pick out the single most exceptional tank of the season. His choice was this -- "Selection N"-- a liquid tribute to his expertise, offering a glimpse into the brewer’s own palate. An elegant, highly aromatic bouquet that unfolds in layers. Initial notes of crisp grape and Bartlett pear give way to a tropical heart of pineapple and papaya, all tied together by a delicate floral perfume and a glimmer of crystalline sweetness. This Daiginjo defines "effortless weight." It enters with a gentle, lively spritz and a signature "silken glide" across the tongue. While it possesses a remarkable depth of flavor—ripe melon, Tahitian vanilla, and fresh pear juice—the texture remains ethereal and fluid rather than heavy. The brilliance of this brew lies in its balance. Vibrant Mandarin orange and lush fruit tones are anchored by a sophisticated umami undertone, culminating in a finish that is remarkably clean, quick, and dry.
