Sogen “Samurai” Princess
Ishikawa prefecture
A princess warrior at your table
Imagine inviting a strong, warrior princess to your table — that’s what this sake is like. The trident logo is an ode to the founder who, as part of the samurai class, would carry a trident spear. The lighter texture and restrained boldness pairs well with creamy pasta, and hearty vegetables grilled with oil. Enjoy in a ceramic cup, or in a wine glass to highlight the delicate aroma.
