Selected from the middle of the pressing
Tsuya is a junmai daiginjo made from Yamada Nishiki polished to 50%, using only nakadori — the middle portion of the pressing, valued for its stable quality.
A year of cold maturation settles the aroma and softens the texture. The name Tsuya (艙) suggests lustre and grace, an image of refined elegance.
Lemon and ripe banana, gentle sweetness
Aromas of lemon and ripe banana open gently. Soft sweetness gives way to a clear, dry centre and a refined finish.
Sabae, Fukui — since 1860
Kato Kichibee Shoten was established in Sabae, Fukui, in 1860. The brewery has produced junmai styles exclusively since 2003 and matures its sake below 0 °C before release. BORN’s identity is built around rice, water, time and a clean, layered house style.
A natural affinity with sushi and seafood umami
Gentle sweetness balanced by a dry core shows a natural affinity with the umami of sushi, sashimi, fatty fish, white fish and shellfish.
