Kirei 80

Fast NL & EU shipping • Insured delivery • Trusted by 10k+ natural wine enthusiasts

Structured, umami-driven junmai sake from Hiroshima with rich rice character, balanced acidity, and a dry, grounded finish. Fuller in style, with depth and a slightly savoury edge.

Rice • Junmai • Low-polish (80%)

Kirei 80 is made with rice polished to just 80%, leaving more of the grain intact and bringing out deeper, more pronounced rice flavours. The result is a sake with more weight and texture, balanced by a firm acidity that keeps it fresh and versatile.

Naturally suited to food, it works across a wide range of dishes and can be enjoyed both chilled or gently warmed, where its richness and umami become even more pronounced.
