RIHAKU DANCE OF DISCOVERY JUNMAI SAKE

Rihaku Shuzo brews this junmai sake in Chugoku using Kannomai rice, a cold-climate varietal whose name combines the Japanese characters for "God" and "dance." Milled to 68%, the rice develops distinctive smoky, saline characteristics uncommon in typical sake production. The sake offers layered texture with malt-like sweetness balanced by cleansing acidity, delivering straightforward rice flavors with a dry, crisp finish at 14% ABV. Vegan and gluten-free, it pairs beautifully with grilled chicken yakitori, roasted pork, or sweet potato dishes.
