Taiyozakari Tokubetsu Junmai (30 cl)

A Junmai sake designed as the standard-bearer of Niigata’s qualities: rice, water and know-how. The harmonious balance between the natural sweetness of the prefecture’s emblematic Gohyakumangoku rice and the subtle acidity of Junmai sakes, tinged with a slight bitterness, makes this an easy-to-match sake for any table.

A multiple award winner, including a Gold Medal in the “Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass” competition in 2014, 2019 and 2021, a Gold Medal for Heated Sake in 2016, and a Gold Medal at Kura Master 2017 in the Junmai category, this Tokubetsu Junmai sake is a wonderful accompaniment to dishes that are quite fatty or boiled, as well as dishes with spices, nuts, or brown sugar cubes: mackerel simmered in miso, yakitori skewers, dishes in teriyaki sauce, roast pork, sweet and sour pork, shrimp in chili sauce, or cabbage rolls, vegetable terrine, omelette and light dishes.
