Carrying one piece of sushi into the next
ZAKU eks Edition No.1 was created through the perspectives of JAPAN CRAFT SAKE COMPANY, Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten and a sushi chef—a sake made for sushi.
Through assemblage, multiple sakes are layered to create an expression that follows the flow of a sushi course. A citrus-peel-like “positive bitterness” draws out delicate umami and cleanly settles the aftertaste of richer oils.
Citrus and white flowers, with a poised bitterness
Aromas of citrus and white flowers are layered with the brightness of fruit. Clear acidity gives the sake its poised outline.
What remains is a gentle, pleasant “positive bitterness.” It heightens the umami of sushi while unravelling the finish into a dry, composed close.
Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, chosen for sushi
éks is a JAPAN CRAFT SAKE COMPANY project that begins with one dish, bringing chefs and breweries together to shape the expression of a sake.
The Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten behind ZAKU eks Edition No.1 values the belief that the maker, the person serving and the person tasting together create a sake’s value. That idea also runs through this expression, refined for sushi.
