SAKEMARU only deliver seasonally limited sake. Their sake is normally neither filtered nor pasteurized very special edition so that they rarely appear on the market even in Japan.

After the last dripping step, normally sake will go through the following process, filtering, pasteurizing and diluting.
These are the important process to prevent sake away from the taste degradation, however, this process is easy to kick the special feature of each sake away.
Normally, seasonally limited sake skip those process, so that we can enjoy more natural and real taste and aroma of sake.

Our sake is alive, so please put it in the refrigerator right after receiving sake. 0-5 degrees is the best temperature for unpasteurized “nama” sake.

Our sake is unpasteurized sake so 0-5 degrees is the best temperature. It’s OK to keep it in the wine chiller but the taste is gradually changing because the yeast is still alive.

If you’d like to enjoy the original taste, it’s better to finish in 1 week. Of cause, sake has to be stored in the fridge. But, it’s also fun to enjoy the transition of taste effected by the oxidization. The taste is changing but oxidization sometimes makes the taste of sake better.

The taste of sake tends to be richer and milder. The mechanism is scientifically figured out gradually, for example, matured sake in the snow dorm reduced the aldehyde which gives the negative effect to the aroma more than general ones.

You can mature your sake as long as you like, unless canceling the membership. The taste of sake nouveau transforms dramatically even after 1 year.
Nobody can’t expect how the taste of sake grows after 2, 3 years. Please enjoy your own aging sake.

We can’t deliver the sake stored less than one year so that you will lose the chance to receive matured sake.
