New to sake? Let us help!
If you're new to premium sakes and are looking for a few solid, safe but still exciting brews you've come to the right place. We've picked two of our most popular and highly acclaimed brews to start you off on your journey to sake nirvana.
Taiheizan “Grand Mountain" This is a traditional, old-method sake that would appeal to the American palate. Welcoming and rich, it has a big, creamy nose with sides of banana and vanilla. It’s soft and rolling, with expansive flavors hidden in a clean and delicate finish. A huge bite of flavor offers up all sorts of mouth feel—chewy, syrupy, wide—with hints of nuts and a subtle backdoor fruitiness.
Shutendouji "Kyo-Onna" The nose is filled with steamed rice, caramel, sweet corn, and mango aromas. Round, fruity, smooth and sweet this brew has layers of ripe flavors on a super velvety flow. Add to that a sense of richness and this chewy mouthful is a great example of how rice and water can taste like fleshy fruits such as mango, papaya and banana. Think tropical in flavor and smooth in feel and enjoy this sake out of the fridge. Perfect for
Nigori “unfiltered” fans wanting to explore “filtered” sakes.
