Sake, aka rice wine, technically isn’t wine because it’s brewed, but it is one of our favourite drinks. This Amanoto Junmai Daiginjo is a beautiful example of Japanese’ focus on perfection with a crisp citrus flavour with slight sweetness and a clean finish thanks to the rice milled to 35% of its original size. The brewery’s name, Amanoto, means heaven’s door and is located in Akita in the snowy northern part of Japan. It is the smallest producer in it’s region and everything in this Sake is truly local with rice sourced within 5kms and water from nearby rivers & springs. The Junmai style Sake is brewed only with rice and water, with no alcohol adjustment.
