Introducing Limited Batch Series 006: 'awa × blackcurrant'

This batch has been crafted through the fermentation with British blackcurrants harvested this summer.

The blackcurrants, which were freshly harvested, were first transformed into a puree and then fermented with moromi,main mash, during the initial fermentation. The photograph captures the specific stage of the first fermentation process.

After progressing through a secondary fermentation within the bottle, the batch was meticulously brought to completion via the delicate process of manual degorgement.

Flavor profile and Food pairing

Beyond the invigorating tang and delightful bitterness, there's rice-derived umami and sweetness, all enveloped in gentle, delicate bubbles. Whether you're a devoted Sake enthusiast or new to this realm, we encourage you to give it a try. This presents an opportunity to explore the world of sake beyond its conventional boundaries.


It stands brilliantly on its own. We paired it with a green curry and were delighted by how the rich and spicy flavors of the curry complemented it exquisitely, showcasing the potential for unconventional pairings. Enjoy it paired with rich and savory dishes.
