Zenkuro Original Tokubetsu Junmai 14% Alc
For those who have not drunk sake before, or those who have, but drank too much too quickly, we suggest you try this smooth, light, easy drinking style. Zenkuro Original is a great alternative to either white or red wine with your meal, it is a great match with a wide range of Japanese, European or Kiwi dishes.
全黒オリジナル特別純米 アルコール度１４％
日本酒を飲んだことがない方、苦手意識がある方でも楽しんでいただけるように、少し低めのルコール度数に仕上げました。軽い飲み心地をお楽しみください。日本料理、ニュージーランド料理、西洋料理など、幅広い料理に合わせやすい仕上がりです。
“White Cloud” Nigori Junmai 14% Alc
Crafted by lightly filtering the fermented moromi (mash) to leave behind just enough lees in the sake to maintain its original white colour, body and texture. Produced in small batches, our Nigori is silky smooth, and goes particularly well with spicier and richer dishes.
純米にごり アルコール度１４％
一番搾りの澱（おり）を活かし、芳香なうま みを閉じ込めました。澱によるかす かな刺激とまろやかな口当たりをお 楽しみいただけます。軽く混ぜてか らお飲みください。 スパイシーな料 理とも良く合います。
Wakatipu Sleeping Giant Tokubetsu Junmai 16% Alc
The fermented mash is transferred to bags, then gently pressed with local river rocks in a traditional pressing tank. Strong, flavoursome and full bodied, just like Matau, the legendary sleeping giant of Lake Wakatipu. Matches well with a wide range of Japanese, Kiwi and European style dishes. Enjoy chilled or warmed gently to suit the occasion.
ワカティプスリーピングジャイアント特別純米 アルコール度１６％
醪（もろみ）を槽（ふね）で搾り、うまみをすべて凝縮しました。ワカティプ湖に眠るマタウと言う巨人の様に、力強い味をお楽しみください。日本料理、ニュージーランド料理、西洋料理など、幅広い料理に合わせてお召し上がりいただけます。冷酒と同様、ぬる燗でもお楽しみいただけます。
Drip Pressed Shizuku Shibori Junmai Ginjo 14% Alc
This sake is crafted using the most extravagant pressing method. The fermented mash is poured into bags, which are hung up to allow the sake to gently filter through the mesh, using gravity alone. While the yield is low, the sake produced is highly refined. Perfect for fine dining and pairing with delicate flavours.
雫搾り純米吟醸 アルコール度１4％
醪（もろみ）を袋に入れてタンクの上につるし、落ちてきた雫だけを集めました。最も高級なお酒が採れると言われている製法です。料理の味を引き立てる繊細なうまみをお楽しみください。
