About
Assemblage is a French word meaning "mixing".
In wine terminology, it refers to the blending of original wines, a traditional technique practiced in Bordeaux and other regions. The complex flavors and aromas are the result of the cross-breeding of different wines.
This technique could also be effective for sake. A small spark of inspiration turned into a conviction as we continued our research and trial-and-error. We believe that we can deliver unique sake that defies conventional wisdom by constructing an assemblage based solely on pure taste, without being bound by conventional evaluation criteria such as rice polishing ratio or brewing year.
It was a miraculous discovery of a new future for sake.
