This bottle is a Sake Gumi selection!

Kayoko and Yoko visited Kitaya in September 2016. The brewery’s modern facilities coupled with a staff full of veterans convinced them that Kitaya brews each of their sakes with a clear vision. Souden is no exception.

Kitaya sought to create a fruity, highly acidic, and tart sake that pairs well with rich foods. To achieve this, they implemented the yamahai method and used Yamada Nishiki rice polished down to 60%. Although we enjoyed this with slices of beef, this sake scored off the charts alongside cream cheese on crackers. Try at room temperature or warm.
