Hakushika Junmai Ginjo is a premium sake from Japan. Excellent for pairing with fine Japanese cuisine such as sashimi, tofu dishes, and lightly flavored sautéed poultry, beef and vegetables. Also excellent for fusion and crossover cuisine which uses such traditional Japanese flavors as yuzu citrus, konbu kelp, dashi soup stock and soy sauce.

Rich palate, medium full-bodied with grainy malty notes; sweet clover and honey aromas at room temperature.

Suigei, meaning Drunken Whale, is named after a warlord in Kochi Prefecture in the Edo period who loved eating and drinking. Suigei Brewing Company aims to create sake that pairs perfectly with any dish on the dinner table. They’ve achieved their goal with a versatility which brings a reserved ricey nose and milder umami with pleasant acidity when slightly chilled, and richer flavors with longer aftertaste when slightly warmed.

This savory sake is inspired by local legends of Niigata’s annual fox-bride festival. Local lore tells of mysterious lights that appeared on nearby Mt.Kirin in the distant past, which are claimed to be the lanterns carried in the fox-bride procession. With a 50% polishing rate, this sake could technically qualify as a “daiginjo,” but the savory notes and food pairing versatility identify more with the style expected from “ginjo.”

This sake is crafted in Nada, Japan, a region renown for its rich sake history. The superior water and rich rice plots are any brewer’s dream. Nihonsakari dreamed up this smooth, even sake with nutty notes bolstered by a dash of herb and spice flavor. Nada’s soft water gives the sake a light aftertaste that’ll have you pouring a second round as soon as the first is done.
