This sake is brewed using a rare four-stage fermentation method to create a deliberately sweet style, with notes of ripe persimmon and fresh musk melon. On the nose, it offers aromas reminiscent of banana candy, leading into a smooth, velvety texture. A decent level of acidity balances the higher residual sugar, making for a well-structured and elegant drinking experience. This sake is best enjoyed chilled to highlight its refined character. The label reads “R309,” indicating that it was produced in the Japanese Brewing Year Reiwa 3 (2021) and was the 9th batch of that year. Each batch is part of a continuous evolution, so subtle changes in flavor may occur over time. Food Pairing Suggestions: Parma ham with melon, fresh tomatoes, blue cheese.

Lagoon Brewery

Niigata

This tiny sake brewery was founded in 2021 (Reiwa 3) after acquiring a new sake brewing license—an exceptional case, as such licenses are typically no longer issued in Japan, except for export purposes. Nestled by the serene waterside of a lagoon rich in nature, the brewery operates as a year-round producer (shiki-jōzō). Its founder, Yosuke Tanaka, previously served as the president of a long-established sake brewery. Driven by his belief that “more newcomers will make sake more exciting,” he seized the opportunity when export-only sake licenses became available and launched this new endeavor. In addition to sake for export, the brewery also holds a rare license to produce “other brewed liquors,” allowing them to craft diverse and experimental beverages such as doburoku (cloudy sake) and other unique expressions using creative ingredients and methods.
