A Junmai Daiginjo brewed with Tamanae, also known as Yamasake No. 4, the fourth sake rice variety registered in Yamagata Prefecture and a long-standing local favourite for brewing. Bottled unfiltered, unpasteurised and undiluted, it has a strong, full flavour that reaches well beyond delicate Japanese cuisine. Try it with simmered dishes, boldly seasoned plates and fried foods such as tempura. Serve chilled.
