The Lively One
When crisp grilled vegetables are sizzling on the grill, Tsuki no Katsura Junmai delights with its refreshing smoothness in the glass. Aromas of fresh mint, lime, green apple and white peach in the bouquet, accompanied by creamy vanilla notes and a pleasantly long, slightly spicy finish. Served chilled or slightly warmed, it’s an uncomplicated, exciting food pairing partner - especially with green asparagus.

The Umami Force
If the menu is tasty, this is your drop: Kozaemon Kimoto Junmai, simply a force in taste. Brewed according to the traditional kimoto method, this balanced sake convinces with its fresh and at the same time intense, sweet and spicy roast aromas and its very pleasant acidity - ideal with grilled meat and sausages.

The BBQ Junmai
Inatahime Ryokan surprises with a salty and leathery nose. Aromas of lime blossom and soja mixed with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, tobacco and nutmeg. A very round and intense Junmai, delightful for your barbecue.

The Tangy
Paprika, nutmeg, pine needles, olive tapenade as well as smoked ham and meat pastry in the nose and oily, resinous, smokey and spicy-fleshy in the palate. Goriki Junmai is an aromatic and powerful sake with lots of umami and the perfect match to a barbecue party.

The Adventure
Kozaemon Yamahai Junmai is a veritable taste expedition! With its intense and earthy flavours and also a lot of umami a sensational sake to hearty dishes. If it is a 'Bündner Gerstensuppe' with bacon in winter, it has to be a T-Bone steak or a juicy sausage now.
