About
Tank storage gives this sake a moderate aged aroma, letting you enjoy the natural flavor of rice in an easy, everyday sake. It can be enjoyed in a range of styles, from chilled to warmed. It is especially recommended at room temperature to lukewarm (nurukan), where you can appreciate its moderate aged aroma and the harmony of umami and acidity. True to its Traditional Rich style, it pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Junmai sake served at room temperature or warmer pairs especially well with Chinese cuisine. The sake holds its own against the oil and bold flavors of Chinese food, and both the sake and the dishes can be enjoyed well together.
