Description

Indeed, the aroma was very different from that characteristic of unfiltered nigori-style sakes.
Initially sold as a downgraded sake, it was met with great success on the market. The product name was retained and christened Ito-okashi or "Itowokashi", a name with several meanings, including delicious, excellent and interesting.

The CEL24 yeast captivates with its pronounced apple aroma and its refreshing citrus-like acidity, but its low alcoholic fermentation and low alcohol tolerance require rigorous management of the fermentation process.

However, with appropriate management, it can produce a sake that transcends traditional sake concepts, something no other yeast could achieve.

This Ito-okashi sake is a powerful and smooth sake, even among the most common dry Tosa sakes (from Kochi).
This sake offers a fruity, floral aroma with powerful notes of apple from the yeast used. It is a sake similar to a white wine.

It is lively and juicy on the palate, refreshing and smooth, with a refreshing and elegant malic acidity. The finish is long, with notes of cream and barley sugar.

Ito Noen

Grown on south-facing terraced fields using 100% natural fertilisers, they benefit from maximum sunlight, which encourages their particularly juicy and flavourful character.
The very best of the juice!


At Ito Farm, production based on concentrated fruit juice is simply not an option! Free from colourants, additives and preservatives, the Japanese citrus juices and marmalades – yuzu, mikan, amanatsu, sudachi, daidai and lemon – come from the first pressing, done by hand, which gives the fruit an intense fragrance and absolute freshness.
To provide a genuine yuzu juice, Ito Farm developed an original pressing method. To prevent the outer and inner peel from mixing with the juice, the citrus fruit is cut into two hemispheres. Each hemisphere is placed on a hemispherical mould and gently pressed using another hemispherical mould to extract only the pulp. The juice is then immediately chilled to preserve its freshness and nutritional qualities. The peel retains its original shape and qualities after pressing, as it is not over-compressed. Whereas a 100% pure juice is very thick, this original method yields a pure juice derived solely from the pulp, with a very refreshing taste.

This juice is guaranteed free from added sugar, additives and preservatives. Industrial inline pressing methods, as well as the chopped pulp method, yield approximately 40 to 45% of the juice from the fruit. The Ito Noen method extracts only around 30%.
