UZUME Genshu 209

UZUME Genshu 209 – Tokubetsu Honjozo

A bold, refined sake that shines on the rocks.

The moment you open the bottle, a rich aroma rises softly.
Whether enjoyed straight or over ice, the depth of flavor remains striking.

With an impressive 20.9% ABV, UZUME Genshu 209 is a full-strength sake that manages to balance its intensity with quiet elegance.
Not flashy, but quietly powerful—this sake carries a playful confidence that makes it a popular gift for those who appreciate something unique.

Uncut, Unfiltered, Uncompromised.

Unlike most sake, this genshu (undiluted sake) is bottled without water adjustment.
That means its richness, aroma, and lingering finish remain intact—even when poured over ice or mixed with soda.

At 20.9% alcohol, it also qualifies under Japanese law for safe home infusion.
You can steep seasonal fruits like plums or peaches directly into the sake—no sugar needed—bringing out a fresh, natural sweetness and aroma.

“It tastes like freshly squeezed fruit.”
Fans say the aroma alone during infusion is enough to fall in love.

It all started in a papaya field.

During a visit to a local farm that grows papaya for our sake lees pickles, we came across unripe green peaches.

Someone said, “Could these be used for something?”

We decided to try steeping them in Genshu 209—and were stunned.
Even unripe, the peaches released an intensely vibrant fruit aroma.

Later, we tried ripened peaches—and were amazed again.
Same fruit, entirely different expressions.

This is not just “sake for plum wine.”
It’s sake designed for joyful experimentation.
For enhancing everyday life through small discoveries.
For crafting quality experiences—by hand, at home.
