Sawanoi “Hiyaoroshi”

“Hiyaoroshi” is sake aged over one summer, then bottled and shipped in autumn. This brew is made by maturing junmai sake, resulting in pleasing umami and depth of flavor made from notes of rice, cashew and cream. It’s recommended to serve this sake in a smaller ceramic cup to bring out a softer mouthfeel. Hiyaoroshi pairs well with grilled fish, mushroom-heavy dishes or anything with good umami.
