Midorikawa Shuzo
緑川 純米吟醸 Midorikawa Junmai 720ml

Clean, smooth, and gracious: this is the essence of the classic Niigata tanrei-karakuchi “light and dry” style. Subtle nose of melon and ginger, creamy soft texture and prolonged but dry finish.

Tamagawa Sake Brewery

Matsunoi Sake Brewery

【蔵元直送】松乃井 特別純米 Matsunoi Tokubetsu Junmai 720ml

Sweet aromas of vanilla and cream custard. Round palate entry, very soft and plush in the mouth with a hint of warmth. Builds in breadth and retains most of its freshness as it loses its chill, and when it hits room temperature it loses its inhibitions about showing off its luxurious, silky texture.
