***All pre-orders are final — no refunds or cancellations once placed.*** It's that time of year again! In July, Niizawa Brewery will release the 2026 editions of Absolute 0 and the even more luxurious Crystal 0 available. These are the lowest polished sake in the world, the absolute pinnacle of sake making. First released in 2019, Absolute 0 set a new standard for sake quality, achieving the lowest sake polish in the world at 0.85% remaining. Haunting, delicate flavors of pear and honeydew complemented the soft aromas of sweet steamed rice. 2023 saw the debut of the exceptional Crystal 0. Made from the highest quality Yamada Nishiki with much lower yields of high polishing, the nuanced structure of the original was complemented by exceptional lush and tropical flavors, but with the same elusive and pristine finish. Availability is extremely limited, deadline for pre-orders is Tuesday, July 14th. Pre-orders will be taken on a first-come, first-serve basis, so no guarantee of sake being available. Confirmed preordered bottles will be shipped by air from Japan and available for shipping in early August. ***All pre-orders are final — no refunds or cancellations once placed.*** Prefecture: Miyagi • Brewery: Niizawa Jozoten • Rice: Kura no Hana milled to 0.85% • Water: Soft spring water from Mt.
