About
Rich and creamy, with a gentle fruitiness, this junmai nigori sake is brewed with Shinshu-grown rice and natural water. Its refined sweetness and delicate umami come together in harmony. It is a 'white sake' (《白いお酒》), Silky White. Serve it well chilled, neat or on the rocks. On the rocks with a single ice cube is recommended. It pairs well with Japanese cuisine, as well as Chinese and Asian-style dishes, steak, and yakiniku and other grilled meats. This is Silky White.
