Our Take

This is a quality sake all around. Yonetsuru Sake Brewery's "Longevity" Junmai Daiginjo has a traditional sake aroma profile with faint notes of grape, pineapple and/or lychee upon taste. It has a soft texture with perhaps a lower acidity than some other sake. The result is a refreshing character and surprisingly pleasant.

We recommend pairing this with light Japanese fare with an emphasis on cleaner white fishes like tai, hirame, or suzuki. This junmai daiginjo is also fantastic to enjoy on its own. Just be sure to chill it before serving!
