UZUME Series – EXPAND / "YOIN" LINGER Relaxation

UZUME EXPAND “Yoin / Lingering” targets buyers and professionals who value structured flavor design, food compatibility, and sustainable sourcing. Key sectors include fine-dining restaurants, hotels, sommeliers, airline catering teams, premium retail, department stores, specialty liquor shops, and importers seeking modern Japanese sake with clear storytelling.

The “Lingering Level (L1–L5)” system provides an intuitive classification similar to wine logic, helping chefs and beverage managers choose sake by finish length and pairing intensity. L1–L2 appeal to markets preferring clean, light profiles, often attracting wine drinkers and beginners. L3–L5 deliver deeper umami and warmth, fitting regions that appreciate aged complexity such as Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Western gastronomy markets.

The use of 12-Mile Project Rice supports buyers who prioritize low food-miles and regional identity. GI Mie certification in selected lots strengthens credibility and authenticity for export markets where verified geographical origin is valued.

The Yoin series is designed for a wide range of dining situations where pairing precision is essential.

L1–L2 (Fresh / Light / New Brew)
Ideal for:
• appetizers, sashimi, raw fish, steamed dishes
• salads and dishes featuring citrus or herbs
• light tasting menus and business lunch service
Their short, clean finish resets the palate without overpowering delicate flavors. These levels also work well for tasting flights, pairing workshops, and events introducing sake to beginners.

L3–L5 (Aged / Deep / Long Finish)
Recommended for:
• roasted or grilled dishes
• rich sauces, creamy textures, aged cheese
• fermented foods and umami-heavy dishes
These levels provide the structure needed for main courses and late-course pairings. They also work well as dessert pairings, especially with chocolate, nuts, and custard-style dishes.

Temperature versatility—chilled, room temperature, warmed—makes the series ideal for restaurants, hotels, bars, airline services, and international event service. At home, it pairs easily with hot pots, miso dishes, oven-baked meals, appetizers, and simple snacks. The L1–L5 labeling system encourages comparison tasting, gift purchases, and multi-bottle selection

UZUME EXPAND “Yoin” reinterprets traditional sake by introducing a structural axis: the lingering finish. Instead of grouping sake only by aroma or dryness, the L1–L5 system organizes it by finish length and weight, making selection straightforward for pairing-focused culinary settings.

All items use 12-Mile Project Rice, cultivated close to the brewery to reduce transport impact and highlight local terroir. Combined with the mineral-rich Suzuka Mountain water, it yields sake with clarity, depth, and balanced umami.

L1–L2 offer freshness and short finishes ideal for delicate dishes and newcomers. L3–L5 provide richer umami and longer finishes suitable for grilled foods, sauces, cheese, and fermented cuisine. The series performs consistently chilled, ambient, or gently warmed—important for export markets with varying storage environments.

Select products hold GI Mie certification, reinforcing regional authenticity and story value. Overall, the series blends tradition, sustainability, and modern structure to offer a versatile, export-ready premium sake tailored for global culinary applications.
