The light aroma from this sake has a refreshing appeal, and its subtle Kimoto body enhances the taste of foods. Hatsumago Junmai starts with a gentle light and clean flavor, followed soon after by a more intricate flavor that spreads across the palate with an exhilarating finish.

Recommended way of serving:
Not all sake is meant to be drunk both chilled and hot, but Hatsumago is one of the exceptions and is often enjoyed warm by sake experts and connoisseurs. Warming this sake will really open up and enhance its unique characteristics. Heat to the level of your personal preference and enjoy.
Recommended Dishes
Great accompaniment to sashimi, sushi, and seafood in general. Also, compliments vinegary and lightly fried foods. This sake particularly enhances the flavor of raw oysters, as it diminishes its fishy aftertaste. (ex.) Any Sushi & Sashimi, Black Co
