This sake ditches the typical fruity bombast, instead proudly showcasing the toasted grain and koji character. Imagine the savory notes of charred pizza crust and roasted peanuts, with a rich, almost rice pudding-like texture. Surprisingly, the aroma leans towards a salty sourdough, followed by a delightful twist of passion fruit and guava. To top it all off, a lively, almost cider-like effervescence dances on the tongue.

Ama No To Description

Available seasonally as a namazake offering. The epitome of the “local” farm-to-table movement, this sake is made only with rice, water, and labor from its own prefecture. Ama No To translates to “Heaven’s Door,” referring to the prefecture which is at the northernmost tip of Japan. The label image is an icon of good fortune from Amaterasu, the Shinto Sun Goddess who is believed to have brought light to the world and cultivated Japan’s first rice fields.
