Deluxe Sawanotsuru Sakes
This is our most popular selling sake range and is Sawanotsuru's perfect all round sake. A quality Honjozo-shu sake with a dry, light and fragrant flavour. It uses a combination of Yamada Nishiki & Gohyaku Mangoku sake rice.
The Deluxe sake range is a particularly enjoyable sake and has a wide range of serving temperatures. It can be either drank chilled as an aperitif, at room temperature (15°C) with the main course, or even served hot (45°C-50°C) with a finishing desert.
Changing the temperature of the Sake will interestingly change its taste and flavour; when chilled it is light & refreshing, when warmed, rich & smooth and when served hot, earthly and intense. It is perfect with any types of foods, e.g. sushi, tempura, teriyaki or even yakitori.
