Chotokusen Tokutoshu, Tokubetsu Honjozo & Mino Yaki Sake Cup Gift Set
Specification
Description
Since its founding in 1873, Kamotsuru has carried over 150 years of traditional brewing techniques into this flagship sake.
Premium sake rice, grown in the rich nature of Hiroshima, is carefully selected, then polished down by 40% so only the refined core remains for brewing. Combined with pristine spring water, that process gives the sake its pure, refined character.
It carries a rich aroma, a deep body, and an incredibly soft mouthfeel that spreads across the palate.
While excellent chilled, warming it brings out its savory umami even further, and it's widely regarded as one of the finest warm sakes made. It has earned recognition in both domestic and international warm sake competitions, and continues to be served at historic, world-renowned restaurants, including the legendary Sukiyabashi Jiro.
Chilled, it shows a rich aroma and deep complexity, with a smooth, gentle mouthfeel. Warmed or hot, its umami and body expand further, showing why it's considered a standout among warm sakes.
It pairs well with grilled or roasted meats, semi-aged cheeses, and rich Japanese dishes like teriyaki salmon or chicken, similar to a full-bodied white wine, best with dishes that carry some richness. It also suits kaiseki and omakase-style Japanese cuisine broadly.
Mino Yaki (Ware)
Mino-Yaki is a traditional ceramic made in the Gifu region of central Japan. The name "Mino" comes from the ancient province that once covered this area.
With a history spanning over 1,300 years, Mino-Yaki has evolved alongside Japanese life and culture.
From everyday tableware to refined tea ceremony pieces, these ceramics represent approximately 50% of Japan's ceramic production—a testament to their quality and craftsmanship.
