Benten Sawane Junmai Daiginjo Genshu Dewa Sansan

As charming and sublime as Benten's smiling face on the label.

Benten Sawane is a collaboration with the Gotoh Sake Brewery of Higashiokitama, Yamagata Prefecture. Benten Sawane takes its name from the Goddess Benten, to whom a shrine is dedicated at the rear of the brewery building. A charming, easily approachable sake with an elegant palate and pleasant finish, the Junmai Daiginjo in particular has an elevated umami and greater volume all while retaining the elegance and refinement hinted at by this sake’s label design.

The sweetness and volume of this Sake are just right, giving flavors of fresh, juicy, ripe pears and white peaches. Smooth on the palate with mild acidity and a gentle astringency, complemented by a distinctive touch of minerality. The expressive yet rounded flavors make it perfect for pairing with food.
