Shichi Hon Yari “Ginfubuki” Warrior’s Blend
Shiga Prefecture
Crossed rice varieties, double the flavor
Named after seven famous spearsmen who fought at the legendary battle of Shizugatake, we think you’ll find this sake quite legendary itself. It uses Ginfubuki rice, which is a cross between the famed Yamadanishiki and Tamasakae, a variety local to Shiga Prefecture. Using crystalline water from the Ibuki Mountains, this sake has dried apricot and peach notes, a tasty treat to enjoy on any occasion.
