Hakutsuru Junmai DaiGinjo SHO-UNE 300ml
The taste of a daiginjo isn’t one that is easily forgotten. Hakutsuru’s Sho-Une Daiginjo is no exception. The slightly dry, full-bodied saké with velvety smoothness drinks like a dream. Soft aromas of pear give way to flickers of white peach and grapes in this wonderfully complex daiginjo.
Enjoyment: Perfect on its own, but if you want a classic Japanese experience then try it with delicately cut fresh sashimi over sweet rice.

Kanbara "Bride of the Fox" Sake (720ml)
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 Junmai Daiginjo, but the savory notes and food pairing versatility identify more with the style expected from Junmai Ginjo.
Intense aromas of grilled nuts, pistachio, and a hint of white chocolate. Ripe honeydew notes finish crisp with a hint of lingering sweetness.
One of the best meat pairings in the portfolio. Try with duck, fig-stuffed pork loin, or black cod with miso glaze.

Yuki No Bosha Junmai Sake
This Limited Release Ginjo has a brilliant nose filled with peach, strawberry, and minerals. Talk about a fruity beast! A superbly innocent sake that has baskets of ripe fruit tones including strawberries and mangos that dance in a silky and clean flow. The softness of this Ginjo and the vivid acidity are muted by a fruitiness without being sweet. A tremendous treat for those looking for a fruity experience but don't want gooey sweet.
