Futsuu, 720ml, $23.99
This traditional table sake is a long-time favorite of the local Niigta people. It is a great place to begin your journey to understanding this delicious brew. Light and refreshing, this very drinkable sake is perfect for everyday enjoyment. Its clean nose is gently reinforced by hints of almonds and stone fruits. Extremely versatile, it can be enjoyed both chilled and warmed, or used in mixed drinks. Some food pairing suggestions from the brewery are grilled poultry, sashimi and terriyaki dishes.

Honjozo, 720ml, $29.99
Honjozo has a light aroma and offers a smooth, dry, and light delivery to the palate, with complex notes of spices and nuts. Just a hint a sea breeze allows this classic example of the Niigata Style to pair well with shellfish, cooked vegetables or roast turkey.

Junmai Genshu, 300ml, $21.99
This is a robust, full-bodied Niigata sake straight from the tank to the bottle. It is a serious sake pumped with racy acidity and richness. It pairs well with hearty meat dishes, items off the grill and other foods with depth and full flavor, such as roast pork or beef. On the rocks, it makes for a perfect after-dinner sake.

Junmai Ginjo, 300ml, $21.99
This highly polished Junmai Ginjo has a complex floral nose and sweet entry. On the palate it is creamy and rich, with hints of banana and peach. Seafood pairs naturally with this sake, but by experimenting you'll discover other great combinations, such as smooth cheeses.

Silk Deluxe Junmai, 500ml, $26.99
Silk in a glass, this sake is light and energetic. Pleasantly mild yet unforgettable aromas hint at what one is about to experience: a super-subtle, silky sake that glides down smoothly. Refreshing notes of honeydew melon and cucumber make it an ideal sake to sip chilled, or even serve in cocktails. This atypical sake is becoming the drink of choice, not only among novices, but for those who prefer delicious sake with a light, yet mildly sweet finish.
