AYAKA Undifuted Junmai 綾花 純米原酒
AYAKA Undifuted Junmai
300ml 720ml
You can say that this sake is "cute". There is a sweet, floral aroma coming up from the sake ("uwadachi-ka") resembling that of papaya. After the first sip, gradually the sweetness becomes something like mango, offering the enjoyment of a rich, full-bodied finesse. The amount of acidity is relatively small, so warming the sake ("kan") does not affect the overall impression except for a slight increase of the acid and mellowness, and soon emerges a light, pear-like aroma.
When matched with cream cheese, its sour-sweet qualities can be further enjoyed; or with boiled pumpkin and sweet potato salad, this sake's mildness is ever more accentuated. Grilled flatfish can also emphasize its sweetness, and a tomato-flavored dish of minced chicken and radish will go perfectly with it, just as well.
This sake is also tasty even when cooled down after warming ("kan-zamashi" style).

ASAHIGIKU REY Junmai Ginjo 旭菊 麗 純米吟醸
Asahigiku Rey Junmai Ginjo
720ml
This sake has very soft taste initially, but it has a strong core with a sophisticated Ginjo flavor that lingers on your tongue. Also, its well-balanced acidity gives it a slightly bitter aftertaste that is quite intriguing. When consumed at a warm temperature around 40℃, you might notice an increase in your appetite due the sake’s increased acidity. Sweet potato cooked with orange juice, oranges and pure sake goes extremely well with it.

This sake has a round and soft flavor, because it does not have one particular element that dominates all of the others. It makes you feel as if you are in a mild and warm place on an early spring afternoon. Enjoy this sake with pork sauté topped with a fruit sauce (mango, papaya, or pineapple) at a hot temperature around 55℃.
