Kitajima Hojicha Sake 720ml

Tradition meets tea-house sophistication in this expressive creation from the artisans at Kitajima Shuzo. Built on a foundation of classic Junmai sake brewed with pristine, soft spring water from Mount Kongō, this release is expertly infused with roasted Yame tea leaves from Fukuoka—famed for their aromatic, nutty profile. It pours an alluring amber-bronze, wafting comforting aromas of toasted grain, warm hazelnut, and deep, charcoal-roasted tea. On the palate, the earthy, savory umami of the Junmai base mingles seamlessly with the roasted botanicals. A delicate touch of natural honey is blended in—not to make it sugary, but to gently round off the roasty edges and soften the finish. Elegant, soothing, and subtly complex, it shines chilled, served over a large rock, or paired alongside rich, savory fare.
