DEWATSURU AIYAMA Junmai Ginjo
Produced exclusively with the rare sake rice Aiyama only pasteurized once after pressing. Fresh and juicy aromas of red berries, banana, plum, citrus, and violet flowers. This sake’s robust, bright, and rich flavors and umami from the Aiyama sake rice are well balanced with the moderate aged characteristics and tied together with harmonious acidity.
#10596 DEWATSURU AIYAMA JG 12/720ml.(+2)(32pf)
DEWATSURU KIMOTO Junmai
Brewed using the traditional Kimoto method passed down through generations at the brewery, followed by a slow, long, and low-temperature fermentation during the cold season. The resulting sake carries a fine, delicate nose of chestnut Mont Blanc, cocoa powder, and Danish butter cookies. Despite the sweet nose, this sake leans dry with smooth umami on the palate, carrying depth and richness, making this sake an excellent choice for protein-based pairings.

NOGUCHI HIYAOROSHI (SEASONAL)
The palate is filled with a full aroma derived from the rice with sweetness and acidity. The aftertaste is pleasantly slightly bitter. The sweetness and acidity are enhanced when stored in the refrigerator, and the synergy with food can be enjoyed more fully when served at room temperature or warmed to a lukewarm temperature of about 40°C/104°F. Seasonal sake.
