"This wine has a semi-sweet taste with ripe plum aromas. This wine is best enjoyed chilled. Using selected Japanese Plum, 'Ume', Hakutsuru Plum Wine has been brewed with highly developed fermentation skills and technique.

"Île Four Premium Select ‘Junmai Ginjo’ Sake is to regular sake what malt whisky is to basic whisky. We start by removing 40% of the outer layers to reveal only the pure inner core of the special sake rice. Then we use a slow, highly labor-intensive process to create a very refined pure and clear Sake. With its light dry taste, fruity aromas of pear, and highly elegant modern aroma, Île Four Premium Select counts among the 6-7% top Sake in the world. Enjoy chilled with food or mix a premium-cocktail." —winemaker

"For many centuries, the ume tree has been a symbol for the coming of spring in both China and Japan, because it blossoms early, at the end of January. Similar to the famous sakura cherry blossoms, the ume bloom is celebrated with countless festivals and special ceremonies. Japanese rarely eat ume directly – rather the fruit is enjoyed as a pickled ‘plum’ over rice or mixed with shochu as a traditional plum wine. Our version, however, is made with premium Sake to balance the acidity of the ume with the soft sweetness of the Sake. Enjoy over ice!" —winemaker

"The pink and red dots of this Junmai Ginjo represent the two kinds of yeast used to make this sake. The silver color symbolizes the merger into a delicious brew. Fruity, light, and floral, this Junmai Ginjo is brewed by Taka Yamauchi, maker of Watari Bune. Founded in 1854, the Huchu Homare Brewery is located in the town of Ishioka and is considered a national cultural landmark." —winemaker

"Joto Nigori is brewed by the Nakao Brewery, which was founded in 1871 and is now managed by the 6th generation of the family. The brewery has pioneered revolutionary techniques and ingredients in the sake industry. Unlike most nigoris, which are syrupy sweet, Joto Nigori shows depth and earthy notes, which make it more food-friendly and sophisticated. Joto Nigori is a junmai, which lends a dry, earthy balance to the milky, coconutty fruit notes that are typical of the nigori style." —importer

"This Nigori is bright and lively with fresh tropical notes. Creamy and almost chewy on the palate, Joto Nigori pairs well with spicy Asian foods. Serve chilled." —winemaker

"This junmai is soft, relaxed and mellow, with notes of peaches and strawberries. It complements yakitori, nutty cheeses and spicy Italian meats." —winemaker

"Although this sake is not made using the same apple yeast as the daiginjos in the Maboroshi line, this junmai ginjo still shows green apple fruit. It also reflects the Hiroshima style, which is described as 'kirei,' a Japanese word meaning both 'clean' and 'pretty.'" —importer

"Technically qualifying as a junmai ginjo, this junmai is a great introduction to saké. It is earthy and mushroomy in the nose but reveals light, fresh notes of grapefruit and melon on the palate. Its structure is open and dynamic, its body light, its finish crisp and clean. It complements flavorful foods like cooked Japanese food and French or new American." —winemaker

"Nigori Silky Mild emits the fruity aromas and flavors of ripe banana, vanilla, melon, strawberry, and creamy sweet rice custard. Slightly sweeter than Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Crème de Sake, its milky-white appearance previews the characteristically full, smooth palate of the nigori sake type." —winemaker
