Izumiryu Yahiko “Vermilion Pinnacle” Kiwami is both graceful and bodied. While it’s an affordable “futsushu” (table sake), it’s brewed using the same low-temperature, long-term fermentation for making ginjo sake. The fact that it is unfined and only pasteurized once gives it more character. Satisfying flavors of watermelon and mineral translate beautifully across various serving temperatures. Although a versatile pairing partner for all sorts of meals, this sake complements fish dishes particularly well.

“Even though it’s a futsushu (table sake), it’s brewed with long, low-temp ginjo fermentation, giving it a delicate, refined texture. Super versatile, but I especially want this with fish. Great at any temperature!”
