Oze x Rosé
Junmai Dai-ginjyo. Gunma, Japan
$23
Owner's Pick
A lovely rose-colored sake that exists within a sphere of balance between sweet and tart, and has a flavor that resembles wild strawberries. +Brewed with the exceedingly difficult-to-use red yeast, it has been said that if a Junmai Daiginjo is the most difficult grade of sake to brew, this Rose Junmai Daiginjo was 10 times as difficult, so many brewers are unable to work with it. Drink chilled.
Umeshu
$20
Saika Nigori Umeshu
Umeshu. Wakayama, Japan.
$20
This drink is made by straining the plum pulp from Saika Umeshu and mixing it with the filtered Umeshu. This a genuine Umeshu that combines the refreshing aroma and acidity of plum with the rich flavors of sake. A delicate beautiful Umeshu after a hearty meal. Recommended on rocks.
$20
Nanbu Bijin Umeshu No Sugar
Umeshu. Iwate, Japan.
$20
Typical Umeshu (plum sake) has loads of sugar added to offset the extreme tartness of the plums (on average 1.8L of white liquor = 1kg sugar), however, Nanbu Bijin Umeshu infuses only Ume plums into their one-of-a-kind "all koji" Junmai Sake. Sugar is not needed, since plums and koji rice are naturally sweet. This sake is easy to drink, has an attractive rose pour, and high acidity. Recommended on the rocks.
