Boken - No. 77 Junmai Ginjo Sake 720ml

Boken No. 77 Sake is a bold and expressive Junmai Ginjo that captures the rugged spirit of Akita Prefecture. This sake offers a vibrant sensory experience, leading with a refreshing burst of lively acidity and bright citrus notes. The palate is balanced by a silky texture and subtle minerality, creating a tantalizing interplay of tartness and sweetness that finishes crisp and clean.

Crafted by Hiraizumi Honpo, a brewery with over 500 years of history, this sake is a modern interpretation of the traditional Yamahai method. It is brewed slowly in cold temperatures using 100% Akita Sake Komachi rice, polished to 60% to reveal its core character. The use of Kyokai No. 77 yeast is key to its identity, producing a high-acid, umami-rich profile while keeping the alcohol remarkably low at 13% without dilution.

This innovative approach has earned B?ken No. 77 recognition as a Commended Award winner at the 2025 IWC Sake Competition. Its unique structure makes it an incredibly versatile companion for food, pairing beautifully with everything from grilled fish and lamb chops to rich, savory dishes.
