Dewazakura Dewanosato Junmai Sake Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Dewazakura brews in Yamagata, a snowy northern prefecture famous for pristine water and cold, slow fermentations. Baked apple and toasted rice lead this sake, a clean, savoury edge running underneath. It's dry and lean in the mouth, with a crisp finish that never overstays its welcome. Try it with a chilled sashimi platter or edamame with sea salt.

Junmai Sake food pairings: chilled tofu with ponzu, edamame with sea salt, sashimi platter.
