PAIRINGCOMING SOON
From the ever-familiar Senkin and United Arrows collaboration, “Senkin UA Collection”, we introduce the winter-only “Yukidaruma United Arrows”. The light feel on the palate, hard to believe it is a cloudy sake, is the same as the normal Yukidaruma, but at the centre of the flavour is a sweet-tartness like biting into a whole fresh green apple. The rice-derived body is on the strong side too: a creamy apple soda of a sake, for grown-ups.
