TOSATSURU Azure Ginjo

A defined expression of the range

TOSATSURU Azure Ginjo is brewed using deep-sea water drawn from Muroto, Kochi, shaping a soft ginjo aroma against a smooth, translucent dry character. The blue bottle reflects the sea’s clarity and a free-thinking spirit unbound by conventional ideas of what sake should look like.

In 2017 it won the Grand Prix in the Ginjo division of the U.S. National Sake Appraisal — a blind tasting that judges sake purely on quality, not appearance, where this bottle’s clean, pure character was recognised.

How it tastes

A soft ginjo aroma recalls white peach and pear. The palate is smooth, with a clear, dry structure drawing the fruit’s fullness tight, leaving a light, citrus-toned acidity and a crisp cut on the finish.

The white peach and pear stay bright through a crisp, clean finish.

TOSATSURU · Tosatsuru Sake Brewery · Kochi

Tosatsuru Sake Brewery began brewing in 1773 in Yasuda, Kochi Prefecture. Built on a founding principle of quality first, it continues to refine the clean, precise dry style characteristic of Tosa.

For Azure, that traditional technique is layered with deep-sea water and a more modern approach — the deep-blue bottle and the sake’s clear character marking a new expression for Tosatsuru.
