【寒菊 Horizon 羽州譽 純米大吟釀 無濾過生原酒】

來自千葉縣九十九里濱一帶的寒菊銘釀，創業逾130年，以結合傳統手工與現代設備見稱，近年更在清酒評分及排行榜中長駐前列，是千葉縣內深受注目的實力酒造之一。 「Horizon」屬於寒菊的限定系列「Occasional」，以稀有酒造好適米「羽州譽」為主角，並以純米大吟釀規格釀造，無濾過、無加水的生原酒風格，完整保留酒米與酵母的原始表情

羽州譽由名酒「十四代」背後的酒造所開發，被譽為兼具纖細米味與華麗香氣的高級酒米，寒菊將其精米至50%，帶來清澄卻具立體感的口中變化。 酒體呈現輕盈卻充滿果感的風格，常見帶有蘋果、熱帶水果與熟成米香的交織，入口微甘，富有透明感與細緻的旨味，餘韻悠長，帶一絲微碳酸般的活潑感，特別適合冰飲搭配海鮮、刺身及燒物料理

標籤設計以九十九里濱海平線與初升太陽為意象，象徵每日的嶄新起點，也對應酒名「Horizon」——將視線延伸至更遠的地方，把當下的一杯變成生活節奏的座標。 對習慣以香檳或白酒佐餐的飲者而言，這支酒是極佳的清酒切入點：果香鮮明、結構清晰，既保留日式細膩，又帶有現代感和「輕盈卻認真」的態度，非常適合用作朋友聚會、節慶餐桌或獨自對海放空時的專屬儀式感

【Kankiku “Horizon” Ushu Homare Junmai Daiginjo Muroka Nama Genshu】
Sunrise in a Glass

From coastal Chiba, Kankiku Meijo brings over 130 years of brewing history into a modern expression that blends traditional craft with advanced equipment, earning consistent high rankings and strong local support. “Horizon” is part of the limited “Occasional” series, brewed as a Junmai Daiginjo with the rare sake rice Ushu Homare, left unfiltered and unwatered as a muroka nama genshu to showcase the purest character of the rice and yeast.

Ushu Homare, developed by the producer of the legendary “Juyondai”, is celebrated for its delicate rice flavor and lavish aromatic profile. Polished down to 50%, it delivers a bright, fruit-forward style often showing apple, tropical fruit and gentle rice sweetness, with a soft, lightly sweet entry, high transparency and a long, graceful finish, sometimes with a faint spritz that lifts the palate—perfect well-chilled with seafood, sashimi or grilled dishes.

The label portrays the sun rising over the horizon of Kujukuri Beach, suggesting a calm yet hopeful beginning and echoing the name “Horizon” as an invitation to look further and live a little deeper. For drinkers used to white wine or sparkling pairings, this sake offers an accessible gateway into premium sake: expressive fruit, clean structure and a modern, easy-to-enjoy personality, ideal for celebrations, casual gatherings or quiet seaside moments of reflection.
