BOTTLE CALL TO MEND
100% OF PROCEEDS OF CALL TO MEND BOTTLES DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY WILL BE DIRECTLY DISTRIBUTED TO OUR STAFF AND TEAM FOR THEIR CONTINUED RESILIENCE AND CARE. rice: yamadanishiki | seimaibuai: 70%/broken grains | abv: 18% | smv: +13 That’s right, this sake uses broken grains to make up the majority of the rice in the batch. When milling sake rice, we inevitably end up with brokens grains, which are removed from the finished product. Instead of letting these go to waste, we’ve collected them and made this sake! This sake is big, bold, and super dry. A peppermint nose, with stone fruit and herbal flavors. This is filtered, but undiluted and unpasteurized. 750ml$36.00
BOTTLE ANOTHER DALLIANCE
rice: yamadanishiki | seimaibuai: 50-57% | abv: 15% | smv: +4 Our longest running brand of sake. This sake is mildly sweet, clean, and soft. It’s delicate enough to drink on its own, but with enough body & character to pair with lots of different food. 750mL$40.00

BOTTLE NIGORI
loosely pressed, allowing some rice particulate to remain, this bright nigori brings sweet notes of pineapple, banana, and coconut water to create a full, tropical sake. 750mL$36.00
