A Rare Treasure from Akita
FLYING PEGASUS represents the absolute pinnacle of Suzuki Shuzoten's brewing artistry. This ultra-premium sake is one of the rarest and most sought-after releases from Akita Prefecture, with only 300 bottles produced each year. Named after the mythical winged horse symbolizing inspiration and excellence, FLYING PEGASUS soars above ordinary sake with its exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship.
The Ultimate Expression of Craft
Creating FLYING PEGASUS requires extraordinary dedication and skill. The rice is polished to an impressive 40% - meaning 60% of each grain is carefully milled away to reveal only the pure starch heart. This level of polishing, combined with the brewery's most refined techniques and the finest ingredients, results in a sake of unparalleled elegance and complexity.
Extreme Rarity
With only 300 bottles produced annually, FLYING PEGASUS is one of the most exclusive sake releases in the world. Each bottle represents a rare opportunity to experience the very best of what Japanese sake brewing can achieve. This extreme scarcity makes it a prized possession for serious sake collectors and connoisseurs.
