About
Ukon Nishiki stopped being grown as the times changed, and today we ask local farmers under contract to cultivate it. Sake brewed with Ukon Nishiki weaves together a crisp, sharp outline with a clean finish (kire) and a rich flavor enveloped in acidity. It pairs well with sliced winter yellowtail (kanburi) sashimi and butter-sauteed mushrooms. Enjoy it across a wide range of temperatures, from chilled (reishu) to lukewarm (nurukan).
