ARAMASA VIRIDIAN TENGERUGI 新政 天鵞絨 生酛木桶純米 720mL

Brewed by Aramasa Shuzo (新政酒造) in Akita Prefecture, Viridian “Tengerugi” 2023 (天鵞絨, meaning Velvet) is part of Aramasa’s Color Series, where each colour represents a unique brewing philosophy and sensory texture. “Viridian” evokes richness and calm — and this sake embodies exactly that.

Crafted using the traditional Kimoto method and fermented in cedar wood barrels (木桶仕込み), this sake combines the wild depth of natural fermentation with Aramasa’s signature freshness and precision. Expect layers of green apple, melon, vanilla, and cedar, balanced by soft acidity and a velvety umami finish. Each sip feels alive — a dialogue between tradition, terroir, and time.
