About

The golden color, with its gentle aroma, is enjoyable at room temperature as well as when warmed to nurukan (lukewarm). When Junmai sake is warmed, the pleasant flavors hidden within it come forward without getting in the way. It pairs with a very wide range of dishes, and seems to go especially well with food that has a robust umami flavor. Enjoy the golden world that unfolds from the cup, served alongside a glass of wazamizu (water served with sake to refresh the palate).
