Nishide “100 Year”
Ishikawa prefecture
$175.00
100 years of excellence
Nishide Shuzo brews up this special batch of junmai daiginjo using a unique yeast that was discovered one hundred years ago, hence the name “100 Year Sake”. This yeast, called kuratsuki kobo (house yeast), only grows within the grounds of the brewery itself. In fact, breweries that have been crafting sake for generations sometimes take pride in their specific yeast. What does this mean for you? A sake with mild, yet engaging banana flavor that slips into a rich sake rice umami. Expect just a dash of acidity on the finish.

Why not pair a delicate snack with delicate junmai daiginjo sake? For sake ware, we recommend glasses or cups that enhance the sake’s fruity aroma.

Customer reviews
Amazing bottle and amazing sake.
The bottle itself is absolutely beautiful and in and of itself is a statement piece. All the reviews I read said that this sake has notes of apricot and young banana but I didn't get that. It had a little bit of a mushroom flavor to me which was unexpected and I really enjoyed it. Super smooth and dry. Highly recommend.
Although expensive, the quality is good.
This was one of the best sake bottles I have ever gotten
Great flavor profile
The sake was good it made for a great gift. The bottle and seel were both in perfect condition. Will definitely buy more sake from here
