Ayanishiki

Ayanishiki is a honjozo sake brewed by Unkai Shuzo using Aya spring water, selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Waters. Known as the "phantom sake" due to its rarity.
Brewed with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 65%, using the pure water nurtured by the laurel forests of Aya. It features a light mouthfeel and a sweet lingering finish, making it an approachable sake even for beginners. With a standard alcohol content of 15-16%, it is versatile enough to enjoy across a wide range of temperatures from chilled to warm.
With over 10 Gold Awards at the National New Sake Appraisal, its exceptional quality is well established. Production is so limited that it does not even appear on Unkai Shuzo's official website, making it an extremely rare brand that is difficult to obtain even locally. It is one of Miyazaki's representative sakes, born from the fusion of Aya's rich natural environment and Unkai Shuzo's craftsmanship.
