Kawatsuru “Crane of Paradise”
Juicy and nuanced
We love a juicy, nuanced sake that can proudly sit next to wine. It’s made with the king of sake rice, Yamadanishiki, in the land known for “tanuki” (raccoon dog). This sake is called “umakuchi junmai-shu” in Japan, which describe its umami-forward nature. The pairing suggestion of pizza with prosciutto/speck, or smoked salmon with cream cheese sounds absolutely delectable for the well-balanced, honest structure of this sake.
