About This Wine
Producer Notes
The epitome of the “local” farm-to-table movement, this sake is made only with rice, water, and labor from its own prefecture. Ama No To translates to “Heaven’s Door,” referring to the prefecture which is at the northernmost tip of Japan. GRADE: Tokubetsu Junmai Tasting Notes: Layers of dried flowers and baking spice give way to savory salinity. Slightly dry and medium-bodied. Clean and focused on the finish to accentuate its rice-like qualities. Food Pairing: Try it with game birds, pork ribs, or wild mushrooms. It is also the perfect pairing for pickled and fermented foods.
Critical Acclaim
Very pale yellow straw color. Spicy, assertive aromas of green apple, flowers, mint, and fresh herbs. Juicy, lively and light on its feet, with subtle freshness in a rather ethereal style. Complex and refined. From all locally grown rice.
