About
Fisshaman Sokujo draws out the crisp flavor and sweetness of sokujo shubo (quick-brewing yeast starter), a method representative of modern sake brewing. Through this approach, it achieves a flavor and depth of body that rival those of fine white wine. The symbol of the brand is the ichogani (イチョウガニ, Ichōgani), a species of wataridagani (swimming crab), which is among the most widely eaten crabs in the world. Its eye-catching bright red bottle reflects the character of the sake. This sake goes well with fish dishes in general, but it shows its full potential when served with foods rich in umami components, such as shrimp and crab. With the fruity aroma and light sweetness of a fine white wine, the palate of Fisshaman Sokujo demonstrates the new potential of sake. Through rice, koji, and brewing techniques, sake can be shaped into almost any flavor.
