Jyoku “Squirrel’s Harvest Festival”
Aomori prefecture
For your autumn feast
Who can resist the label’s adorable squirrels sipping sake at an autumn feast? Follow their fuzzy lead and get yourself a bottle of limited-edition Jyoku “hiyaoroshi.” This fall sake entices with a citrus aroma, and mellows out with comforting flavors of cooked rice and marshmallow. It’s light and smooth, but makes the perfect partner for the season’s indulgent meals, such as oden, grilled Pacific saury or steak.
