Staff Pick Notes

Some of the Japan's purest expressions of sake come from its most Northern prefecture of Hokkaido. It is a place whose frigid climate and plentiful snowfall prevent unwanted bacteria from affecting the brewing process. This sake ages for 100 days in actual ice igloos which mellows the brew in subfreezing temperatures. The result is a liquid that shows an extraordinary slick and lush mouthfeel. Flavors of melon, pears, and minerals show very nicely. It was soothing with my spicy Kimchee stew last night.
