Song of the Sea
SAKE OVERVIEW

A rare opportunity to try sake made with Yeast #9 sourced from the brewery that discovered it, rather than from the National Research Institute of Brewing. The result is lively and intense flavors of saltwater taffy salinity that evokes memories of the beach. Song of the Sea is an ode to the brewery’s seaside location in Kanagawa.

GRADE Junmai Ginjo
Tasting Notes

A medley of apple, banana, and melon lead the aromas and carry through on the palate. Saltwater taffy salinity notes add a touch of sweetness and minerality. Intense throughout with a crisp, clean finish.

Food Pairing

Pair with grilled lamb chops, couscous, or paprika chicken.
