Staff Pick Notes

Izumibashi Sake Brewery was founded in 1857 primarily as a farm for table rice. Since 1996 they have been one of the very few Sake breweries in Japan to grow and harvest their own rice for Sake production. The name Izumibashi comes from the Izumi river which is used to irrigate their fields, and Hashi their family name. Using these cherished natural resources, Izumibashi states a commitment to "work in harmony with the natural environment" around them. Using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice, this a gentle and clean sake on the pallet, featuring white flower and soft yellow apple notes. This is an absolutely perfect sake for food pair as the elegant acidity rounds out to a lightly starchy and umami rich finish.
