The story of Takara Shochiku Kyo Fush
Sho Chiku Bai is the signature brand of Takara Shuzo, a company established by the Yomo family in 1842. The name means pine, bamboo and plum, three plants that endure the yearly snows and are known in Japan as the Three Friends of Winter. Together they stand for strength, longevity and beauty. This 1.8 litre bottle is the Kyoto Fushimizu Jitate Junmai, brewed with water from Fushimi in Kyoto.
Junmai means no distilled alcohol has been added to the sake. This one is bottled at 13.5 percent alcohol with a sake meter value of +2. The brewery calls it ki-ippon, meaning every step from preparation to bottling takes place at one brewery. The taste is mellow with a rich rice character, soft and creamy on the palate, and this size is sold for overseas markets only.
It can be served chilled, at room temperature or gently warmed. Chilled sake is usually served around 10 degrees, and at room temperature the baking spice notes become more prominent and the texture creamier. It suits steamed white fish, chicken dishes and a buttery lobster roll.
