BŌKEN No.77 Sake 300ml

Description

This new-generation sake opens with aromatic, floral notes and evolves gracefully alongside food, supported by the robust lactic acidity characteristic of its Yamahai lineage. The name No. 77 refers to its yeast — a hybrid of the legendary #7 — bringing both familiarity and innovation. Brewed by Hiraizumi Honpo in Akita, a region shaped by cold, wintry winds, these sakes express a strong sense of place and tradition.

Crafted using the traditional Yamahai method, the brewing process takes nearly four weeks to cultivate the starter yeast, far longer than modern methods. This extended fermentation allows for the development of rich, deep, and complex flavors that define the BŌKEN style. The result is a sake that grows in depth and character as it is enjoyed.

Ginjo-grade elegance meets Yamahai’s earthy, umami-driven backbone in BŌKEN No. 77, BŌKEN Nana, and BŌKEN Nigori. Enhanced by prized local Akita rice varieties, these sakes balance refinement and intensity, reflecting the brewer’s patience, precision, and dedication to timeless craftsmanship.
