Sake vessels
A bowl-shaped sake cup is recommended to bring out the sake's umami and sweetness. Earthenware and porcelain cups match well, too.
Food pairing
The brewery matures this sake's sakekasu (sake lees) for over a year to brew table vinegar. It is the only professional brewery in Japan that brews both sake and table vinegar. Sake and akazu are like siblings at this brewery.
Naturally, the sake pairs well with Japanese dishes like sushi and vinegar-marinated dishes.
