Type: Ginjo Shochu

Tasting Notes

Nose: A full-bodied and fragrant bouquet featuring prominent notes of fruity esters, reminiscent of ripe orchard fruits and delicate ginjo sake.

Palate: Wonderfully smooth and rounded with a rich, silky texture. Gentle flavours of fermented rice and sweet sake lees provide a clean yet complex depth.

Finish: Refined and elegant with a lingering, fruity sweetness.

Food Pairings

Light seafood: try steamed white fish such as sea bass or snapper. The shochu’s smooth Ginjo notes and fruity aroma perfectly complement the delicate, savoury umami of the fish without overpowering it.

Fresh salads: a crisp cucumber or zesty Asian slaw works well. The spirit’s clean finish and subtle sweetness cut through tangy dressings and mirror the crunch of fresh garden vegetables.

Grilled poultry: match with lemon herb chicken skewers. The smoky char and bright citrus flavours from the grill harmonise with the shochu’s full-bodied profile for a refreshing dining experience.

The Matcha Martini

A sophisticated and serene twist on the classic martini, this serve pairs the earthy depth of whisked green tea with the clean, grain-forward profile of rice shochu. Shaken to a delicate froth and sweetened with a touch of honey, it is a balanced, zen-like cocktail where the savoury notes of the tea perfectly complement the spirit.

Île Four is MODERN SAKE

Île Four was founded by three Sake enthusiasts frustrated by the lack of quality, approachable Sake in Europe. Premium Sake was often either difficult to find, too expensive, or buried in complex labels and unfamiliar methods that were hard for Western consumers to relate to. After years of learning and exploration, Île Four was created: a brand with a name that reflects Japan's four (main) islands, bridging the gap between traditional Sake and modern Western lifestyles. The handcrafted, premium Sake and other handcrafted Japanese products are easy to enjoy, perfect with food or cocktails – and best served chilled.
