Ippongi Sake is a famous Japanese sake brand. Ippongi Sake strives to create sake with a unique and delicious flavor profile. Ippongi Sake is known for its high-quality sake products. They produce a range of sake types, including Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo, and more. These terms refer to different grades of sake, with Junmai being the most basic and Daiginjo being the highest grade, made from the best-quality rice and with the most meticulous brewing techniques. Autumn Junmai Namazume (18% by vol.) - This undiluted version of Denshin Ine (available year-round) is left to mature in brewing tanks over the summer. Doing so smoothes out the sake's flavors, then it is bottled without pasteurization in the autumn when it has rounded out beautifully. Aki has aromas reminiscent of melon and a soft umami that expands in the mouth alongside juicy sensations. Finally, the dynamic strength of the undiluted sake makes itself felt in the finish. The powerful volume and rich umami of this undiluted sake makes it perfect for intense dishes with strong flavors, particularly protein-rich meat and fish dishes like braised pork belly, eel, grilled tuna collar, yellowtail teriyaki, charcoal roast beef, and grilled organ meats. The strength of the sake also allows it to be enjoyed over crushed ice or mixed with soda water.
