[Beautiful indigo color, taste like sake]
The special sake is colored by adding blue natural herbs (butterfly peas) to create a mysterious and beautiful indigo sake. The herb itself is tasteless and odorless, so the taste is Junmai Ginjo sake itself. It has a mellow and pure taste with a gentle ginjo aroma. It is a sake that allows you to enjoy the authentic taste of sake while being intoxicated by the beautiful colors that can only be created by the power of nature.
[What is butterfly pea?] 】
Butterfly pea is a legume plant native to Southeast Asia that produces bright blue flowers. It is also popular as a blue herbal tea and is rich in polyphenols called "anthocyanins". Its content is about 4 times higher than that of blueberries. It has antioxidant properties and is good for the body and is said to be good for beauty and eye care.
Seirai uses 100% safe and secure butterfly peas that have been grown without pesticides at partner farms in Laos and have undergone strict inspections.
Despite its vivid appearance, butterfly pea has a very subdued taste and aroma, so it was possible to create a beautiful indigo color without losing the original taste and aroma of Junmai Ginjo sake.
Seiai is a sake that does not use synthetic colorants, but allows you to enjoy the beautiful indigo color and the taste of sake that takes advantage of the bright natural color of butterfly peas.
[More fun ♪ of blue indigo]
Due to the action of anthocyanins contained in butterfly peas, if you add something acidic such as lemon juice, it will turn a slightly reddish purple color. At the same time as the color change, you can also enjoy the "taste change" in which the taste of fruit juice is added to the sake. It is also recommended to make sake cocktails such as Samurai Rock and enjoy them.
(*The color change is "slightly", so it is difficult to see the change, and the color may not change much depending on the amount of juice added and the acidity.) In addition, it appears purple from the beginning under bulb-colored light or sunlight, making it difficult to see the change. )
[Have a happy evening drinking time with your favorite color sake]
For those who have a favorite color of blue or purple, it is also popular as a favorite sake that allows you to immerse yourself in the world of favorite colors.
[Give a gift of blue blue]
It comes in a stylish cosmetic box reminiscent of the universe that expresses the world view of blue indigo. It can also be used as a souvenir, birthday or wedding gift, gift for women, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day or White Day gift, or as a social gift.
[Ideal for drinking during meals]
It has a clean junmai ginjo taste, so it is easy to pair with Japanese food such as sashimi and sushi. It also goes well with snacks such as cheese and prosciutto.
[Recommended way to drink]
Chill well and pour into a clear glass to serve.
If you pour it into a wine glass, you can enjoy the aroma and color even more.
Arrange it by squeezing lemon and lime juice from the middle.
We also recommend the "Samurai Rock Cocktail" made with sake and lime juice, or the "Purple Sake Tonic" cocktail mixed with tonic water.
[Commercialization story]
As young people move away from sake, we want many people to know and enjoy this wonderful sake culture and the taste of delicious sake, so this "Blue Sake Seiin" was born, which retains the beautiful appearance, variety of arrangements, and fun sake, but the taste is special.
In addition, there was also a hope that the "blue" color, which is said to have a healing effect, could add a little healing and fun to everyone's drinking time during their busy days.
