About

This is a flavor well suited to the hot season. It pairs well with fresh seafood, of course, but its dry character also holds up to meat dishes such as roast beef and to oily dishes such as happoisai (a Japanese-style stir-fry of mixed vegetables) and agedashi tofu (deep-fried tofu in dashi broth). Serve chilled or at room temperature. 15% ABV Genshu (undiluted). Slight effervescence when first opened.
