Yuri Masamune Honjozo Sake Cup, Akita, Japan (200ml)
Produced in Akita by the Saiya Brewery, makers of Yuki NoBosha, this is a favorite among locals of the region. Yuri is the name of the local area of Honjoshi and Masamune is an old term for Japanese sake.
This sake is mellow and rustic and has a firm structure, which makes it enjoyable at a range of temperatures, from chilled to warm. Its nutty and earthy notes are balanced by an underlying fruitiness and it complements grilled meats, stews and fish.
