Sake Tasting: Koikawa Junmai Daiginjo, Asahigiku Daichi Junmai Ginjo, & Asahigiku Tokubetsu Junmai 

Sake Tasting

Koikawa Junmai Daiginjo

Its smooth, fruity, and light with umami flavour. Comfortable in the throat and the depth of taste are perfect. Out the these 3 sakes, I like this the most.

Asahigiku Daichi Junmai Ginjo

It has gentle umami of rice with a mild acidity that are well balanced when served cold. When served warm, it brings creamy and smooth texture with alight acidic aftertaste. Using non-pesticide Yamada Nishiki rice.

Asahigiku Tokubetsu Junmai

Light-bodied with dry finishing. Enjoy a mild, rishness when served warm. Its an easy drinking sake, suitable for beginners. Well balanced sake using no.7 yeast.

Cocktails

Benten Colada

It’s a dairy free version of the Pina Colada, experience the texture and flavour as though it has creaminess with the use of Nigori Sake.

Mori at The Beach

This is a twist on the Sex on the Beach cocktail using sake. It’s a refreshing cocktail with beautiful hue like the sakura flower, peach flavoured balanced with little acidity from the cranberry and lime.

Miruku Mojito

This is milky style mojito, using Yakult for the creamy texture without curdling. It almost like mint ice cream accented with sweet aroma from the sugarcane Shochu.

Aoi Hawaiian

A tropical drink that is perfect for a hot day, using Yakult for a creamy taste without being cloying. Using sugarcane Shochu is fruiter and more refreshing than the original rum version.

In collaboration with Luen Heng F&B Sdn Bhd, a leading supplier of international beer, wine and spirit brands and led by Ms. Chiharu Yabe, Head of Luen Heng’s Japanese Division, SO Izakaya presents a premium selection of Sake and Shochu produced by some of the finest independent boutique Sake Brewers in Japan.

You will have the opportunity to sample a variety of this popular spirit including Koikawa, Asahigiku, Komagura and premium Shochu under the name Asahi and Morinokura. For those who love the crisp bold taste of a freshly tapped Sake, there will also be Sake on draught.

Roku Gin

Beam Suntory also joins the Japanese march, offering Roku Gin, Haku Vodka, and Chita Whiskey, a single grain whisky adored for its subtle notes of mint, honey and wood spice - all from the famed House of Suntory line.
