Citrus-peel bitterness, clean acidity and a finish shaped for sushi.
Positive bitterness as a pairing tool
Developed for sushi with Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten and a sushi chef, this edition uses assemblage to tune a precise flavour rather than disclose a conventional rice-and-polish story. A citrus-peel-like bitterness lifts delicate fish, cuts richer oils and clears the way for the next piece.
How it tastes
Pale gold with fruit, citrus and white flowers. Clean acidity and subtle minerality carry an elegant body into a dry finish, where the designed bitterness remains fine rather than harsh.
A culinary project built by chefs and breweries
éks is planned by JAPAN CRAFT SAKE COMPANY as a food-first sake project. Each edition joins a leading restaurant with a different brewery, then builds the liquid around one cuisine rather than around a conventional specification sheet.
