Founded in 1950, the Shichiken (meaning 'seven sages' in Japanese) brewery uses fresh water from Hakushu to make their Sakes. With a generous nose of citrus, pineapple and ripe melon, the pure rice Daiginjo Sake features a 'mouthfeel of silk (''絹の味'')', as the label suggests. It has a sweet yet elegant palate of juicy melon and rice milk, balanced by citrus acids and a umami tone, which follows to the finish.
