Sake
Tamanohikari Karakuchi Junmai Ginjo
A gentle herbaceous lift opens over fresh rice cake and a subtle savoury note. The palate is full enough to show depth, yet the dry structure keeps it brisk, with touches of bamboo leaf, peach and rice candy adding quiet complexity. A clean, sharp finish makes the style particularly food-friendly. Serve chilled or at room temperature with grilled fish, tofu, tempura, yakitori or mushroom dishes.
Mimurosugi Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 720 mL
Apple, pear and lemon aromas lead into a round, silky palate with bright acidity and measured rice umami. The fruit remains precise rather than sweet, and the texture carries smoothly toward a long, dry finish. Refined but not delicate to the point of fragility, it works naturally at the table. Serve slightly chilled with sashimi, grilled white fish, shellfish, tempura or lightly seasoned poultry.
Nagai Tanigawadake Junmai Super Dry
Subtle fruit and steamed-rice aromas open into a clean, savoury palate with restrained apple and citrus-peel notes. Fine rice umami gives the middle gentle breadth, but the expression remains precise and distinctly dry. The finish is brisk, lightly textured and refreshing, leaving very little sweetness behind. Serve chilled, at room temperature or gently warmed with sashimi, grilled white fish, tempura, yakitori or simple rice dishes.
Sharaku Junmai Ginjo 720 mL
Vibrant floral and berry aromas rise from the glass, joined by melon and pear. The palate is light and clean, balancing gentle sweetness with crisp acidity and a delicate, lifted texture.

Serve chilled with sushi, sashimi, grilled seafood, lightly dressed vegetables, fresh cheeses or simply seasoned poultry.
Yoshida Gassan Houjun Karakuchi Junmai
White grapefruit, cucumber and a light savoury note lead into a rounded palate of melon, ginger and mint. The texture is mellow and quietly full, with rice-driven umami providing depth before an elegant, dry finish restores precision. Its balance makes it versatile at the table; serve chilled or gently warmed with grilled seafood, mushroom dishes, carbonara or savoury noodles.
Yamamoto Doh-Kara Extra Dry Junmai
A fresh, lightly aromatic opening gives way to a brief hint of sweetness before the palate turns decisively dry. Clean rice flavour and a bright, ginjo-like lift keep the middle focused, while the extra-dry structure builds toward the finish. The final impression is crisp and energetic, with savoury clarity, faint sweetness and firm dryness arriving in a well-defined sequence.
Sohomare Kimoto Junmai Daiginjo Sake
Herbal notes, clove and orange peel lead into stone fruit and a subtle earthy savouriness.

Traditional kimoto brewing gives the texture depth without making it heavy. The finish is composed and persistent, leaving citrus, cream, mushroom and a gently dry, food-friendly close.

Underripe pear and a touch of clove shape the aroma, with a fuller fruit note emerging as it opens. The palate is mellow and balanced, combining refreshing savouriness with a gently rounded texture. Crisp fruit keeps the centre lively while the spice adds definition. The finish is clean and composed, carrying pear, light spice and a subtle rice-driven richness in an even line.
Kidoizumi Afruge No. 2 2018 Junmai Sake
Bright acidity gives this sake a vivid, vinous profile, while extended maturation brings breadth and quiet complexity. Time in a used white-wine barrel adds a measured oak influence without overwhelming the rice character. The palate feels layered and composed, moving from tangy freshness toward a rounder, more mature impression. The finish is persistent and neatly balanced, with acidity and barrel character held in careful proportion.
