We recommend chilling it first, as this will enhance its crispness and refreshment. As for food pairings, Wildflowers Junmai Sake is a versatile choice that can go with a range of dishes. Try it as an aperitif before your meal, or pair it with light seafood dishes, salads, or ceviche. It's also a great choice for moderately spicy dishes, as its sweetness and acidity can help balance out the heat.
