Shodoshima Shuzo is situated on a small island in the southeastern Kagawa region of Japan. The island is known for its olive groves and sandy beaches, and this sake is reminiscent of both. The distinct dry style with it's subtle olive brine note makes this the ideal sake for clean and salty seafood, and is endearingly referred to in our shop as the 'dirty Martini lover's Sake'.
