This Kasegi Gashira, a Japanese sake, has a mellow body similar to wine that speaks to the skill of the artisan sake maker. The fruity, refreshing acidity and the smooth fullness envelop the palate to give this pure rice sake a sophisticated flavor. The delicate sake is ideal to be paired with sushi and Japanese skewers.
