Sake and Shochu Gumi

This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection! It was featured in Yukidoke Snow Melt (Dec 2023)

The soft water used for this sake is low in iron and minerals requiring long low temperature fermentation, leading to a sake with a clean finish. Kunihiro Ono of Yoshinogawa Sake Brewery says about the water, “ We use groundwater drawn from a well on the premises (a shallow well approximately 10m deep) from Yoshino River. The water used for brewing is named Tenka Kanrosen."

Enjoy this savory sake slightly warmed to enjoy notes of earthy porridge, sassafras, and melon rinds. Pair with foods that are full of umami including raw oysters with lemon and fresh burrata dipped in soy sauce.
