Sake

SŌTŌ, meaning "outside" in Japanese, is a celebration of the Earth's purest elements, brought together to make this premium, all-natural sake. This Junmai has soft umami with understated fruit notes. It is clean and light on the palate with flavors of apples.

Using only the finest rice, and Nada's famed natural spring water "Miyamizu", Junmai Ginjo has been brewed with meticulous care and traditional method. This flowery fragrant Sake with silky, well-balanced smoothness can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. Matches dishes with a slightly salty taste or a slightly soy-sauce taste.

It's totally natural, using OCIA certified rice harvested from the Sacramento Valley with absolutely no preservatives, no alcohol, and no sulfites added. It is brewed under the direction of Takara's master brewer combining the most traditional methods with modern technology to arrive at the Ginjo grade.

This sake is classified as a Tokubetsu Junmai-shu, meaning it is 'special' as the rice is milled to 60%, which is 10% more than a traditional Junmai-shu. Slowly fermented at low temperatures in small batches, Haiku Premium Select is crisp and refreshing.

It's called "Excellent" for a reason—because it is! Let's not beat around the bush: this is one of the best value sakes out there. It's the sake that everyone will like: Goldilocks, Papa, Mama, AND Baby bear (Just to be clear, Baby in sake experience, not age!)
