Orange you glad it’s autumn?

Only available in autumn, this iteration of Sakai Brewing Company’s “Five” line is markedly dry, yet smooth on the palate. A refreshing orange aroma accompanies a deep rice flavor. The soft umami of this once-pasteurized sake becomes rounder as it ages, so you may wait to open it until the end of the season! It’s a wonderful match with bold, savory dishes such as vegetables au gratin and mapo tofu.

Sakai Brewing Company

Established in 1871 in the Yamaguchi prefecture, Sakai Brewing Company lives by its core value, “Do simple things thoroughly to make good sake.” From the growing of rice to the brewing process itself, the brewery is dedicated to empowering the local people. They contract their rice from local farmers, hire locals, and even hold annual events for children in the area to learn about sustainability and celebrate the planting and harvesting of rice. Their staple brand “Gokyo,” meaning “five bridges,” is named after the five arched bridges connecting across the Nishiki River.
