Senkin Classic

Senkin Classic

Senkin Classic is a refined revival of Japan’s sake heritage, crafted with restored Kamenoo rice and brewed in the time-honored kimoto method. Using no added yeast, this elegant sake draws life from the native brewery yeast cultivated over 200 years, creating a natural balance of ripe banana aroma, bright lactic acidity, and a hint of malic freshness. Brewed with pure groundwater from the Kinu River and polished morohaku style (full-polish), Edo-gaeri embodies both tradition and innovation—an elegant, vibrant sake with depth, history, and sophistication.

HOW TO ENJOY

PAIRING

Senkin Classic pairs beautifully with refined Japanese cuisine such as sashimi, tempura, and grilled seasonal fish. Its acidity also complements creamy cheeses, charcuterie, and lightly roasted poultry, offering both harmony and contrast across a wide range of dishes.

SERVING

Serve slightly chilled (10–15°C) to highlight its refreshing acidity and layered fruit notes, or gently warm (40°C) to reveal a deeper, rounded umami profile. A versatile sake that adapts beautifully to mood and occasion.

about the brewery

senkin brewery

One could say Kazuki Usui, head of Senkin Brewery, is the captain that steers the sake ship: not only the ship of his brewery, but the ship of sake trend in general. When Usui, at the age of 28, took over Senkin in 2008 as its 11th generation CEO, Senkin had run to the ground and had to be liquidated. Usui had no experience in sake prior to coming to his family business, but he was coming from the world of wine, working as a restaurant sommelier, then as an instructor at the Japan Sommelier School (now FBO Academy Tokyo) at the age of 22.
