About
Crafted to be enjoyed with food, this sake goes down smoothly and lightly, so your cup keeps moving along as you enjoy your meal. It pairs well with Japanese cuisine as well as everyday home cooking. Dried fish and salted fermented seafood (shiokara) are recommended. It also goes well with simple Japanese dishes such as yudofu (tofu simmered in hot water) and hiyayakko (chilled tofu).
