Nihon Sakari Sake
Two small-format sakes from Nihon Sakari, stocked in Commack.
The story behind Nihon Sakari
Sake is brewed from rice, water, koji and yeast, and it drinks more like a wine than a spirit, with gentle sweetness, clean acidity and a low, soft alcohol feel. Honjozo styles add a touch of brewer's alcohol to lift aroma and keep the finish dry and tidy, so they work well warm or chilled.
We keep Nihon Sakari in the small 180mL and 200mL bottles, an easy way to try sake without committing to a full bottle. You will find them on our shelves in Commack.
