Half-way through Dry Sake January, and here’s one of our all-timers to satisfy your winter thirst: Hitakami Chokarakuchi (“Super Dry”).

Sunflower golden tint with notes of cola, honey, and peony in the nose. The amazing texture of this sake is a highlight--so soft and surprisingly full. A mild, not unpleasant astringency in the finish. This brewery's No. 1 seller, specifically brewed to accompany sushi.
