About this bottle
Sho Chiku Bai Kimoto Junmai is a soulful expression of traditional sake-making, brewed in small batches by Takara Sake USA with techniques that trace their lineage to 17th-century Japan. The labor-intensive kimoto method encourages natural lactic fermentation, yielding a velvety, full-bodied junmai that balances savory umami with gentle fruit nuances. Swirl the glass and discover aromas of steamed rice, toasted nuts, banana cream, and a whisper of white mushroom. The palate opens creamy and rounded, then lifts with bright acidity, finishing dry, clean, and satisfyingly earthy. Its moderate 16% ABV and smooth texture make it remarkably versatile, pour it gently chilled to highlight melon and tart apple notes, or warm it to feel richer cocoa and spice accents bloom.
Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant offers this 640 mL bottle as an invitation to explore sake beyond the familiar. Available for local Long Island delivery, in-store pickup, and shipping to the states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout. Elevate the presentation with a handsome wine gift box or personalize the glass with custom engraving to commemorate weddings, anniversaries, or corporate milestones.
Pair Sho Chiku Bai Kimoto Junmai with grilled mackerel, miso-glazed eggplant, aged cheddar, or even a charcuterie board, its savory depth bridges East and West cuisines effortlessly. Whether you’re stocking “our wine rack” or raising “your wine glass,” this fine wine and good spirit brings authenticity, warmth, and a touch of Japanese artistry to every table. Sip, share, and celebrate.
A dependable sake from our Commack shelves, hand-selected and in stock now for same-day or next-day Long Island delivery, free curbside pickup. Spirits are local delivery and in-store pickup only.
The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Toasted rice and shiitake mushroom rise first, then a gentle nutty note like roasted chestnut, with a faint earthy sweetness underneath.
Palate
Fuller than most junmai, with a rounded texture. Toasted grain and mushroom lead into a savory, nutty richness. Dry, with a firm acidity that keeps it focused.
Finish
Long and dry, echoing toasted rice and a clean earthy bitterness that invites another sip.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Serve slightly chilled or at cool room temperature, in a small tumbler or stemless glass. A splash of water opens the earthy notes. Avoid overchilling, which mutes the kimoto character. Pairs best with food, not as a solo sipper.
