Bunraku "Nihonjin no Wasuremono" (affectionately known as the "Forgotten Japanese Spirit") is a premium Yamahai Junmai sake produced by the Kita Sake Brewery in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. It is highly regarded for its unique brewing process, distinct flavor profile, and iconic square blue bottle.
-
Style: Yamahai Junmai
-
Flavor Profile: Features a super dry, crisp, and earthy palate. It balances rich, complex umami with bright fruit tones like ripe melon, yellow apple, and poached pear, rounded out by subtle notes of steamed rice, white chocolate, and nuts.
-
Brewing Method: Uses the traditional Yamahai method, which relies entirely on naturally occurring wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria in the air. This painstaking process gives the sake a richer, more acidic, and wine-like character.
-
ABV: 15% – 16%
- Rice: Toyama Gohyakumangoku, polished to 60%
How to Serve & Pairings
-
Serving Temperature: Highly versatile. It can be served chilled to accentuate its crisp fruit overtones, or brought to room temperature/warm to unlock deeper, savory notes like vanilla and nut white chocolate.
- Food Pairings: Pairs beautifully with heartier, rich, and flavorful dishes. Excellent with grilled meats, French fries, sushi, or even spicy international cuisines like Thai curries and barbecue.
Availability
This sake is typically sold in distinct 300ml square blue bottles.
