Tozai Sake Living Jewel Junmai 720ml

Tozai ‘Living Jewel’ Junmai Sake — Kyoto, Japan | 720ml

Tozai ‘Living Jewel’ is named for Japan’s legendary koi fish — the shimmering, vibrantly colored “living jewels” that have symbolized good fortune and luck for centuries. Brewed in Kyoto from Koashihikari rice, this Junmai sake is crafted for pure, effortless pleasure: light, soft, and endlessly approachable, with the kind of easy elegance that makes it the perfect introduction to premium Japanese sake. 

The nose is gentle and inviting: banana, citrus, and Asian pear with a soft, clean freshness. On the palate, it is light and smooth, with a delicate sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish that makes you reach for another pour. Serve chilled for maximum freshness — or gently warmed to bring out its subtle rice character.
