Food Pairings: Mushrooms, Buri-Daikon, Soft Cheeses, Miso Based Dishes, Japanese Hot Pot.
Shirakabegura
Tokubetsu Junmai
Complex, well balanced and smooth. Pear and nutmeg on the nose with flavors of hot, tart pear compote and green apple peel. Relish the sweet rice flavor as it unfolds with each sip.
Food Pairings: Excellent companion to a wide range of dishes, particularly mildly seasoned to richer foods.
Hakkaisan
Tokubetsu Honjozo
Easy to drink, not easy to tire of, clean, dry, and enjoyable at almost any temperature – this is Hakkaisan’s Signature Brew. When warmed the koji-rice aroma rises to all occasions.
Food Pairings: Yakitori, Chawanmushi, Stuffed Cabbage, Fried Octopus.
Oze no Yukidoke Ohkarakuchi
Junmai
It starts out gentle and light and finishes super dry. One of the most easy and enjoyable Sake to pair with food. Try warming up this sake to 40~50 °C (104~122 °F) and you will taste more Umami from the rice!
Food Pairings: Japanese dishes, Chicken Hotpot, Chinese dishes, and Fried dishes.
