Inspired by Shiokawa-san's experience making sake all over the world, from Northern California to Indonesia. This sake represents his desire to be closer to nature and have a true expression of terroir.
Mouthwatering notes of lemon custard, papaya & kumquat with hints of black pepper and smoke. Yogurt, nuts and fruit on the mid palate. Clean, pronounced acidity.
Try paired with chicken mole negro, iberico ham or a blue cheeseburger.

Shiokawa Brewery
Traditional but not bound by tradition, Shiokawa-san’s curiosity and scientific approach to brewing results in constant experimentation to make better sake year after year.
• This brewery is truly a family business, with only three employees: Shiokawa-san, his wife, and his cousin.
• Although Shiokawa-san first attempted making yamahai 14 years ago as an experiment, the demand for his yamahais have increased to the point where yamahai is now the majority of his total sake production.
