We offered this sake at the Fifth Taste event last month and it sold out immediately. Luckily I had procured enough bottles for everyone in Level 2 prior to its arrival stateside. The name Kizan means “to return to the mountains.” Chikuma Nishiki Brewery is located in the Alps of Nagano Prefecture. This juicy sake proves its complexity by offering flavors of licorice, tart green apples, and sweet coconut. Enjoy this viscous namazake chilled in a flute to highlight its bright and slightly effervescent texture. The high acidity in this sake is an ideal pairing with heartier foods like rare steak, grilled tofu, and sukiyaki.
