Crystal clear in the glass, this aromatic sake gives off subtle aromas of lilies, river stones, and tapioca. Crisp and clean, refreshing flavors of tender herbs, cantaloupe, and roasted soybeans are both mild and deeply flavorful, finishing soft and fresh.

Varietal

Sake

Sake is a Japanese rice wine made from fermented rice, water, yeast, and koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae), which converts starch into fermentable sugars. Unlike beer, which undergoes sequential fermentation, sake is brewed using multiple parallel fermentation, where saccharification and fermentation occur simultaneously. It typically ranges from 13-16% ABV and is classified based on rice polishing ratio and whether brewer’s alcohol is added. Sake styles vary widely. Junmai sakes, made without added alcohol, tend to have a rich, umami-driven character, while Ginjo and Daiginjo sakes—brewed with highly polished rice—offer delicate, aromatic profiles with notes of melon, pear, and floral elegance. Futsushu, an everyday table sake, is less refined but widely consumed. Sake can be enjoyed chilled, warm, or at room temperature, depending on the variety. With a smooth texture and balanced acidity, it pairs well with sushi, tempura, grilled fish, and a variety of Japanese dishes.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
