Akita prefecture
The freshness of “shiboritate” (freshly pressed sake) and the nuanced flavor of yamahai is superbly balanced in this limited seasonal release. Serving it chilled will highlight the juicy muscat grape aroma, and serving it hot will enhance the umami to match the acidity. Make sure to salute Mount Chokai on the label, which symbolizes the fierce winter, and the kind-hearted brewers that make this delicious sake.

Umami-rich, dried seafood pairs well with yamahai sake. For sake ware, we recommend cups or tools that can be for warmed or chilled sake.
