Introduction

The flagship expression that best represents LINNÉ. The idea of brewing buckwheat, a grain produced and enjoyed worldwide, as SAKE presents a vision for the future of brewing—one that does not rely solely on rice. This sake is made by combining Niigata-grown rice with buckwheat koji crafted from organically grown buckwheat, and brewed using the hashira-shochu method, in which a small amount of rice shochu (a spirit distilled from rice) is added during fermentation to enhance structure, stability, and aromatic clarity.

It offers a clear, gentle sweetness, layered with the depth and character of buckwheat, followed by a clean, crisp finish. At room temperature, it shows an elegant and refined profile. When gently warmed, a soft, comforting richness emerges, reminiscent of soba-yu, the warm, cloudy broth enjoyed after eating soba, with its gentle grain sweetness and soothing texture. The expressive change across different serving temperatures is one of its key attractions.
