SAKE BY GLASS
SHO CHIKU BAI
Classic Junmai Sake offers a very fine texture with harmonious aromas and flavors of macadamia nuts, Chai spice (cardamom, nutmeg), vanilla, heavy cream, and freshly sliced bread. (Small)
SHIRAKABEGURA KIMOTO
Clear and bright, as Shirakabegura Kimoto sake warms slightly in the glass, its round, smooth texture and savory aspects become more pronounced.
HANA FUJI APPLE
HANA Fuji Apple lives up to its name with an appealing aroma that fulfills its promise on the palate with the crisp tartness of a delicious Fuji apple. The lovely lingering finish continues the taste of rich apple flavor. Its low alcohol makes it a fine aperitif, either straight up or on the rocks.
HANA LYCHEE
We recommend this drink chilled or as a delicious addition to a frozen cocktail. Captivating, lychee aromatics and a sweet, full-bodied palate of lychee, yellow peach, and lemon-lime.
HANA WHITE PEACH
Delightful aromas and flavors of just-ripe, white peaches in cream with a sweet, full-bodied palate define this particular HANA White Peach sake. Take a moment to indulge your taste buds - you'll be delighted you did.
KOSHU
Intense, appetizing aromas of candied plum and cherry. The palate is sweet, but not cloying, with concentrated flavors of plum, black cherry and almond, and a lingering finish. By Glass
SHO CHIKU BAI "REI" DAIGINJO
REI presents with a hint of white flowers, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. In the mouth, this sake is smooth and lightly creamy- its savoriness increasing as the sake warms gradually in the glass. Delightful fruit and floral notes of this daiginjo make it a delicious all-occasion drink. More so than a typical daiginjo sake, the soft and full body character of "REI" Junmai DaiGinjo opens it to a wider variety of food pairing. (300ML)
PLUM WINE
NIGORI
Sho Chiku Bai
Nigori Silky Mild emits the fruity aromas and flavors of ripe banana, vanilla, melon, strawberry, and creamy sweet rice custard. Slightly sweeter than Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Creme de Sake, its milky-white appearance previews the characteristically full, smooth palate of the nigori sake type. (375ml)
