An Ultimate Expression of Flavor. This sake, "ff" (Fortissimo), represents a profound evolution of the "Ashigarigo" series from Seto Sake Brewery.
Born from a spirit of continuous challenge, "Zerogo ∞" (No. 0 Infinity) was created to draw out the maximum potential of hydrangea flower yeast, endlessly pursuing the ultimate form.
This foundation has been refined to produce a beautifully complex and sweet taste pushed to its absolute limit.
Inspired by the rich seasonal scenery of Kaisei Town—with its panoramic countryside and views of the Hakone mountain range—this sake is brewed with yeast extracted from the town’s symbolic hydrangea flower.
The Craft: "Jōjō-shikomi" Brewing
"ff" is crafted using an innovative method named "Jōjō-shikomi" (乗醸仕込み), or “Layered Brewing.”
Similar to the “Kijoshu” method, sake is used in place of water during the brewing process. However, the goal is not the aged thickness typical of Kijoshu, but rather to express the vibrant, fresh, and fruity characteristics of the unique hydrangea yeast.
This technique layers the personality of the sake to create a new, expressive masterpiece.
The result is a taste that has captured the attention of top chefs worldwide, with many remarking it’s the most delicious sake they have ever tasted.
