KAWABU SHIKI SWEET

SHIKI SWEET (Shiki / Saika) is a modern dessert-style sake crafted by Kawabu Brewing in Mie Prefecture, Japan. A Yamahai Junmai Ginjo of exceptional character, it balances a rich, honey-like sweetness with vibrant acidity reminiscent of fresh strawberries — finishing crisp and clean.

The Yamahai method, a traditional lactic fermentation technique, lends this sake its distinctive depth and complexity, while the Ginjo-grade polishing brings elegance and refinement to every sip.
