About
A Tokubetsu Junmai (special pure rice sake) made only from highly polished Hokkaido-grown rice and rice koji (koji mold), carefully crafted by the toji and kurabito. The umami of the rice and the cohesive, well-balanced flavor of this Tokubetsu Junmai make it remarkably versatile at the table, suiting a wide range of dishes. Pairings are endless, from hand-rolled sushi (temaki) and simmered mixed vegetables to seafood hot pot, bamboo shoot rice, and shiratama zenzai (sweet red bean soup with rice flour dumplings). The list of good matches could go on and on.
