PAIRINGCOMING SOON
Kankiku, the pride of Numata's home prefecture of Chiba. With April marking so many of life's milestones, the label's vivid design feels like a celebration of a hare no hi (a day for celebration). Tilt the glass and umami and sweetness rush to fill the mouth, receding to leave behind acidity and a faint bitterness. A sake like the small waves of the Pacific rolling in and out at Kujukuri Beach.
