Unfurl your tentacles for something bold—historic producer Kitajima Shuzo taps into centuries of heritage with The Octopus of Shiga, an expressive 16.0% ABV Junmai crafted on the shores of Lake Biwa. Brewed using pure, snow-melt spring water flowing from the Suzuka Mountains into Japan’s most ancient freshwater lake, this sake leaves timid profiles far behind. On the palate, a robust, traditional brewing style takes centre stage: rich, textured, and bursting with deep umami. A vibrant, clean streak of natural acidity cuts through the body, steering into a bone-dry, razor-sharp finish. Exceptionally versatile, dangerously drinkable, and born to pair with fresh seafood.
