Smoky, barrel-stored sake

Yay! Another “taru sake,” a sake that is rested in barrels to take on the flavor and aroma of the wood. This one has a deep, smoky nuance, and comforts you like it’s time to relax. Whiskey lovers may lean more towards this one, and it’s great chilled, room temperature, slightly warmed or hot. It pairs well with buckwheat noodles, cooked mushrooms, hot pot and panko-fried shrimp.

Ichinokura

Thirty miles north of Sendai in Miyagi prefecture, Ichinokura started in 1973 by combining four local premium sake breweries. Their policy hasn’t changed since its inception that all brewing processes must be done by hand. Sake brewing requires all human senses and the physical involvement of touching, tasting and smelling in the production; they believe this is the only way to brew high quality sake. Making the best sake with a new start was undoubtedly a challenge, but they’ve succeeded in creating multiple sensational products over the years and have become one of the best known breweries in Japan, maintaining a decades-long history of export as well.
