Rich, layered sake to warm your soul

This rich junmai with layered, nutty depth in flavor has won many hot sake competitions in Japan, but can be enjoyed over ice as well. We dare you to try it with rich sauces and slow-cooked meat as this region of Japan is known for thicker, sweeter soy sauce and rich meat. The bold structure and solid dry finish of this sake will add depth to your umami-laden dish.

Sip, pair & save!

Complete your home izakaya with a snack and ware carefully selected by Tippsy — with no additional shipping fees!

Cheese-flavored snacks create a harmonious pairing with this sake. For sake ware, glasses or cups that highlight the sake’s umami.
