2024 S.Tokyo Modern Sake with a Rare Yeast
Brewed with a once-forgotten phantom yeast, S.Tokyo offers a refined new take on sake. Instead of todays standard low-temperature method, its fermented traditionally at a slightly warmer 14C, creating a style thats smooth, approachable, and unique.
Brewed with a phantom yeast discovered in 1909 but never before used in sake making, it was miraculously revived by Nakazawa Shuzos 11th-generation brewmaster, Ryo Kagiwada. This yeast creates flavors impossible to achieve with modern mainstream strains.

Elegant sweetness with refreshing acidity
