In honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, we're showcasing Echigo Sekkobai Junmai Ginjo sake from Hasegawa Shuzo, crafted by an all-women team in Niigata Prefecture led by Mrs. Hasegawa and her daughters. Their meticulous process, including hand washing and steaming the rice, yields a sake of unparalleled quality. Made with Koshi Tanrei rice and Hinano River water, this sake is infused with love and ancestral yeast. Its aroma of Plumeria, Cherry Blossom, and Chamomile with banana and rice pudding notes, followed by flavors of mushrooms, dark chocolate, toasted oats, yogurt, and peaches, makes it perfect with robust Sushi/Sashimi or cheeses like Gouda, Manchego, or Asiago, or even with snack foods like popcorn. Enjoy it with the Miyazaki classic Kiki’s Delivery Service on your next movie night. |
