作 FLINT 純米吟釀

【Zaku FLINT Junmai Ginjo】

Located in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, the brewery benefits from the crystal-clear water of the Suzuka Mountains and a favorable climate, earning the region the nickname "Umasake Suzuka Kuni" (the land of delicious sake). "Zaku" (meaning "work" or "creation") is one of their flagship labels, representing the brewery's philosophy that sake is a "work in progress"—an ongoing pursuit of improvement and change. Despite earning top honors at the IWC (International Wine Challenge), the brewery continues to brew with humility and a relentless drive to learn and evolve.

Zaku FLINT is a unique edition in the Zaku series, inspired by the legend of the ancient hero Yamato Takeru and the flint stone that saved his life. This mythical narrative is woven into both the naming and the packaging of the sake. Brewed using Yamada Nishiki rice, it offers a sophisticated balance and refined character, making it an excellent choice for those looking to explore the deeper dimensions of the Zaku world.

The aroma is stable and rounded, with notes of melon and lychee. On the palate, you will experience the richness of rice umami, followed by a crisp and clean finish that provides a perfect rhythmic balance. It pairs beautifully with grilled fish, salt-grilled chicken, tofu, lightly sautéed greens, and dishes with simple, clean seasoning, highlighting their flavors while adding depth to the dining experience.
