Sake Explorer Collection — $200

Explore three distinctive interpretations of premium Japanese sake, from the clean style of Niigata to the aromatic character of Yamaguchi. This collection is designed for sake enthusiasts ready to move beyond introductory styles and discover the influence of region, rice polishing and maturation.

Hakkaisan Snow Aged 3 Years Junmai Daiginjo Yukimuro
Aged for three years in a traditional snow room in Niigata, this sake combines pear, melon, green apple, citrus and fresh rice with mild umami and a dry finish. The slow, cold maturation adds another layer to its character without masking its freshness.
Serve: Chilled around 50–54°F or closer to room temperature.
Pair with: Sashimi, tempura, Mediterranean seafood, washed-rind cheeses or dry-aged beef.

Kirin-Zan Junmai Daiginjo
A Niigata Junmai Daiginjo made with locally grown rice polished to 45%. Expect pear, green apple, melon, steamed rice and floral notes with balanced acidity, gentle umami and a dry finish.
Serve: Chilled, approximately 46–54°F.
Pair with: Oysters, scallops, sashimi, grilled white fish, tempura or poultry.

Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo
One of Japan's most recognized introductions to Junmai Daiginjo, made exclusively with Yamada Nishiki rice. Pear, melon and white peach lead into soft rice sweetness, mild umami and a clean finish.
Serve: Chilled, approximately 46–54°F.
Pair with: Sushi, sashimi, lobster, scallops, oysters or grilled seafood.

Three bottles, three perspectives on modern premium sake, selected to be tasted side by side or enjoyed individually with food.
