Matataki 720ml

A Shibataya Liquor Store original sake, created in collaboration with Shimazaki Brewery.

Warm and comforting flavours of cashew nuts, walnuts, light caramel, and honey gently envelop the palate, carried by a rich, rounded umami. As it passes down the throat, it leaves a soothing warmth, reminiscent of sitting by a campfire, before quietly fading away.

Aged for five years in a cave, this sake is approachable and easy to enjoy even for those new to aged sake (koshu).

Food pairings:
Salt-grilled yellowtail, fried pufferfish, salt-seasoned yakitori, smoked cod with salt, grilled chicken thigh with BBQ sauce
