Uzume Relaxation Lv3

Uzume Relaxation Lv3

Redefining Sake with the Density of Flavor.

Uzume Relaxation Level 3 — A “Fermented Jewel” in Conversation with Cuisine.

Just one sip can change the entire landscape of your table.
Relaxation Level 3 is a premium sake offering a sophisticated sweetness derived from the balanced interplay of aged rice umami and acidity.

Like Tokaji or noble rot wines, its sweetness is designed not merely for dessert, but to deepen the harmony between food and drink.

This is not a sake for sweets—it’s a sake for conversation with rich, umami-packed dishes.

Perfect Pairings for Level 3
🍖 Sweet & Sour Glazed Meatballs: The umami intensifies through the interplay of syrupy textures and acidity.
🧀 Roquefort Cheese: The sweet-acid structure of Level 3 pairs beautifully with the bold saltiness of blue cheese.
🧏 Creamy Pasta & Gratin: It supports the richness of dairy and cleanses the palate with a soft finish.
🍰 Nutty or Cheesecake Desserts: Ends the meal with a wine-like elegance.

International Acclaim
Level 3 has not only earned a place in gourmet circles but has also been recognized by global judging panels.

▸ Why Sweetness Varies with the Same Rice
All Relaxation series products are sugar-free.
Yet, the higher the level, the richer the perceived sweetness—thanks to rice umami intensified naturally through fermentation and aging.

Undiluted and unfiltered sake only
Time-refined flavor through fermentation
Limited yield per batch (rare)

As a result, higher levels deliver a more condensed, luxurious expression of flavor.

Relaxation Level: A Unique Quality Grading System
To clearly communicate depth and emotional resonance, the Relaxation series introduces a proprietary Level-based grading system.

Unlike conventional specs or price tiers, this level indicates:

Depth of flavor: complexity of sweetness, acidity, aroma, and finish
Maturity: from fresh to mellow, each stage of ripeness
Culinary synergy: clarity on pairing with starters, mains, or desserts
Sensory impact: the emotional temperature and time impression left behind
Gift value: memorability and storytelling potential

Rooted in Philosophy
At Ito Sake Brewery, sake isn’t just a drink—it’s a tool for dialogue in life.
This Level system is our way of conveying memorable, sensory experiences that transcend numbers.

All levels are sugar-free—yet remarkably sweet in experience.

🌾 Born from the 12-Mile Project
Level 3 was created as part of our local, sustainable brewing initiative.
Using ingredients (rice, water, people) sourced within a 12-mile radius of the brewery, this sake embodies our desire to preserve today’s delicacies for tomorrow.
