Kawatsuru Olive sake is composed of Sanuki Yoimai grown adjacent to Kawatsuru Brewery, which was founded in 1891. What makes this sake unique is it’s made with yeast cultivated from the Sanuki olive—native to the Sanuki region of Kagawa. With an SMV of -3.5 and a semaibuai of 55%, it’s subtle, clean, and effortless—light bodied and more on the savory side with winter melon, crunchy Asian pear, and finish of fresh fennel bulb followed by a delicate brininess. Serve with lighter fair like sushi, salads, and shellfish.
Notes
The modern movement in Japan to extract yeasts from unusual places has yielded some incredible results. Made with yeast extracted from the Sanuki olive native to the region, this hyperlocal sake showcases the best of Kagawa in a one-of-a-kind bottling. Juicy notes of musk melon, white flowers and green pear with hints of starfruit, grass and salinity. Try with salad with carrot ginger dressing, coconut crab curry or spring pea & mint gazpacho.
