Close your eyes and imagine strolling through a vast field of chrysanthemums, the breeze and rustle of the flowers calming your heart. That’s the vibe this sake imparts when you take a sip. Made from house yeast, this sake pleases the palate with an initial imprint of honey and mixed herbs, and fades like a gentle wind, bringing clarity. No other Yamahai Daiginjo sake brewed in Japan tastes this way: supple, racy and eminently drinkable over long periods of time. Best with cold dishes that combine meat or fish with vegetables, such as Thai beef salad or Salade Nicoise.
