ZANPA 43 is the product of 60% blend of old sake aged for three years. The greatest draw of Awamori sake is how storing it in an earthenware jar or bottle and aging it over time cause it to mature into highly-mellow, full-bodied old sake. In Japanese, aging sake is often expressed as “letting it sleep.” The more Awamori is “left to sleep,” as it were, the sweeter its aroma becomes, and its texture upon entering the mouth becomes mellower as well. ZANPA 43 is defined by the ideal balance of its mellow flavor, the result of surefooted blending techniques with old sake. Its mild taste makes it the perfect cocktail base.
