Shichida Junmai
$59
This sake has a calming sweet aroma reminiscent of honey that is punctuated by that distinct pucker of green apples. The Tenzan brewery executes their Shichida style process of blending two types of rice varietals with their proprietary yeast to create this complex, flavorful Junmai. The result is a harmonious presentation of sweet and acid.
