Description

Product details

OneTen “Red” Extra Dry Junmai is a premium sake produced by Hayashi Honten Brewery, a family-owned establishment founded in 1920 by Eiichi Hayashi and now under the fifth-generation stewardship of Rieko Hayashi. The OneTen brand draws inspiration from the renowned kabuki actor Hyakujyuro Ichikawa, who generously donated approximately 1,200 cherry trees to Kakamigahara City, symbolizing unity and community—a sentiment that resonates through this exceptional sake. Crafted using Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 70%, this junmai sake exemplifies the brewery’s dedication to traditional methods and regional ingredients.

This strikingly dry junmai sake presents a mild nose with a light, yet creamy body that finishes clean and smooth. The glass opens with faint aromas of bamboo, grass, limestone, unripened pear, sesame seed, and steamed brown rice. The flavor profile highlights the grassy, woodsy delicacy while the acid foundation supports the soft palate. With an alcohol content of 15-16% and a sake meter value of +12.0, it offers a crisp, super dry experience that pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes. Notably, it complements raw scallops with dates and yuzu oil, enhancing the dining experience with its clean and smooth finish. This versatile sake can be enjoyed across a range of temperatures—from chilled to warm—each revealing different facets of its character.
