Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten｜Mie
Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten believes that through the harmony of the three key players in the sake world - the people who make it, the people who serve it, and the people who enjoy it - sake can touch people's hearts and bring them joy, and that this is what creates its true value. Sake cannot be made based on one-sided assumptions like, 'this goes well with sushi'. All we can do is to ‘make the best possible sake that we ourselves can be genuinely satisfied with’.
To achieve this, we are committed to eliminating as many negative elements as possible and pouring our hearts and souls into creating a clean, delicious flavour that anyone can enjoy.
While enjoying the freshness of the pleasant, sweet aroma and just-picked fruity flavour and the well-balanced acidity that are the hallmarks of Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, you can also enjoy the deliciousness that the brewery aims for, one that seems to ‘melt’ into your body. The brewery believes that this sensation of the sake ‘melting into your body’ is due to the fact that when the sake enters your body, your cells seem to naturally absorb and metabolise the sake. And when the sake is combined with delicious food, it changes into a different dimension of flavour, which makes the metabolism of the sake even more effective. Shimizu thinks this the ideal food and sake pairing. He believes that his sake is made in such a way that it satisfies the mind and body not only during a meal, but also afterwards, as you savour the pleasant, lingering aftertaste.
Clean, clear, focused aromas of crisp green apple, young honeydew melon are followed by mid-notes of orange blossom interlaced with a bittersweet accent of green yuzu peel and oceanic minerality. A gentle base line of powered rice emerges as the sake warms and aerates in the glass.
FLAVOUR Mellow Smooth Soft Well-Balanced
AROMA Green Apple Honeydew Melon Orange Blossom Green Yuzu Peel
SERVING SUGGESTIONS Well Chilled (5ºC-10ºC) in a Pinot Noir glass or similar with a big bowl.
FOOD PAIRING Perfect for pairing with a diverse range of sushi. It's refined sweetness and minerality enhances the taste of sashimi, raw shellfish, and salt grilled fish. Its well balanced umami and acidity harmonises seamlessly with the delicate seasoning of the sumeshi (sushi rice), while its crisp, dry taste and pleasant citrus like bitterness is an ideal counterbalance to the richer, fatty fish such as aburi kinmedai (seared golden-eye snapper), buri (amberjack) and otoro (fatty tuna). éks x Zaku also has a natural affinity with fresh cheeses, and a vegetable dishes dressed with olive oil
