Experience a new taste aged for 4 years at -2°C

Izumise Co., Ltd. (Location: Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Representative Director: Naotaka Totsuka) has launched Ondo, a sake brand that uses the innovative technology of ice temperature aging. The first product, “001 Sparkling Sake 2019,” is a sparkling sake that has been aged for 4 years at -2°C . Sales will begin at the official online shop from 20:00 on Monday, December 23rd.

Ondo's philosophy and the challenge of ice-cold aging

Based on the philosophy that "temperature is the science behind sake," Ondo pursues new possibilities for sake.
Focusing on the effects of temperature during the aging process, we adopted a method of slowly growing sake in an icy environment below 0℃ (-1℃ to -5℃). This suppresses the activity of yeast and enzymes, maintains a fresh flavor for a long time, and achieves a mellow and elegant taste.

Characteristics of ice-cold aging

• Suppresses oxidation and maintains freshness and transparency
• Soft taste and delicate, gorgeous aroma
• Exquisite harmony of aged depth and freshness

This sake is characterized by a fruity aroma reminiscent of fruits and flowers, and a smooth taste. Please enjoy this unique taste.
