Amanoto “Heaven’s Door”
Akita prefecture
$45.00
A heavenly taste with the grace of a goddess
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. A true grower sake, made by rice farmers. Floral, and nutty with soft salinity.

Customer reviews
Excellent and pure 10/10
Crisp and well balanced with a dry after taste. Paired well with sashimi either cold or hot at 90oF
This is one of my favorite sakes. It is very well balanced with with a somewhat sweet melon start and a clean finish.
This is a terrific sake! It is perfectly balanced, not sour, alcoholic or overly anise flavored. It’s just the perfect sipping sake. Highly recommend.
Crisp and simple, great with sashimi. Would definitely buy again!
A new favorite - clean and crisp.
