November selection
Gekkeikan Yamadanishiki
“Made with 100% Yamadanishiki rice. True to Kyoto’s soft, elegant ‘feminine’ sake style, it’s gently sweet and very easy to drink.”
November selection
Harushika Junmai Chokara
“Gentle aroma and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. You get the umami and depth of the rice, followed by a very sharp, crisp finish. It’s super dry and an easy match for a wide range of dishes.”
November selection
Konishi Junmai Ginjo
“Dry and easy to drink, with a certain weight and body on the palate.”
November selection
Sesshu Otokoyama Junmai
“Clean and dry with a light finish, and easy to enjoy at room temperature or warm. The 3L bag-in-box keeps it fresh after opening, which makes it a great everyday sake.”
November selection
Shirayuki Edo Genroku Genshu
“Ultra-sweet, with a Sake Meter Value of −35. Try it on the rocks or however you like.”
November selection
Koyama Tokyozakari
“Affordable and delicious. So easy to drink, I always end up having plenty!”
November selection
Hakkaisan Junmai Daiginjo
“Light, clean and crystal-clear, with an elegant sweetness and a crisp finish. It has very few off-flavours, so it’s exceptionally smooth.”
November selection
Hakkaisan Yukimuro 3 Years
“Three years of low-temperature aging brings out a rich sweetness and the aroma of rice. It has none of the funky notes typical of aged sake and goes down beautifully smooth.”
November selection
Hakkaisan Junmai Ginjo 55
“It has Hakkaisan’s signature clean, crisp profile, with gentle acidity and solid umami. This all-rounder Junmai Ginjo brings out the best in food, from room temperature to warm.”
November selection
Maroyakana Umeshu 500ml
“An umeshu that lives up to its name: maroyaka means “mellow.” Shirokaga plums steeped in sake give it a soft, rounded body with a fresh, tangy finish that’s never cloying.”
