Senkin Retro

Part of the Edo-gaeri series, Retro represents a return to tradition while reinterpreting it for today. Brewed with the kimoto starter method, using pure groundwater from the Kinu River and no additives, this sake highlights the expressive power of Omachi rice, Japan’s oldest sake rice variety. Its aroma is fresh and restrained, recalling banana and melon. On the palate, it delivers the signature sweet-and-sour character of both Omachi rice and Senkin’s style

Produced by Senkin Brewery
Senkin’s sake are brighter and juicier than other sake; their focus is principally on deviating from the norm with elements of higher acidity and residual sugar levels.
Applying the same concept as a Domaine or Estate, Senkin uses the same water for brewing as that which grows their rice, and they will only use contract-farmed Omachi, Yamada Nishiki, or Kame no O rice grown within 5 minutes of the brewery. They proudly implement both modern and traditional brewing methods across their various sake series.
