Sake
Japanese Sake is a passion of ours. With our resident sake expert, our mission is to education the masses on the culture of sake, and how to appreciate more than just the average Ginjo-graded Nihonshu. We like to geek-out. Hit us up for the deepest sake portfolio in Colorado. Really into sake? Join us at Denver’s Queen City Sake Fest held annually on the first Saturday in October.

A smooth and refreshing sake that drinks as brisk and refreshing as a cold winter morning. Sometimes called, "Magic Water."
-
Made with Yuzu juice and Honjozo sake, this is a uniquely citrus-infused, flavored sake treat. Low in alcohol and high in flavor, Yuzu Bay Sake is a perfect replacement for any fruit wine such as plum wine and other dessert wines. Serve on the rocks or with crushed ice. Also great for unique cocktails.
-
Tamano Hikari Brewery's first sparkling sake, crafted through in-bottle secondary fermentation. This lightly cloudy sparkling sake boasts natural bubbles, complemented by the umami and subtle sweetness typical of sake. It stimulates the palate and is ideal not only as an aperitif or toast, but also as a versatile pairing throughout a meal.
-
This Junmai Daiginjo has a complex flavor and flawlessly balances umami, sweetness and tartness. Pleasantly floral, Kubota Manjyu’s refined aroma is in perfect harmony with its clean, silky and smooth texture. Notes of dried strawberry and nuts. A truly sublime tanrei-karakuchi (dry ＆ crisp) sake.
-
Delivering delicate floral aromas with a palate reminiscent of honey and an elegant lasting finish. Light, floral, and slightly sweet, but entirely well balanced.
-
Unlike many nigori on the market, this cloudy sake has a delicacy to it which is surprisingly refined. Whisps of white rice fall through the glass, adding a slight texture and body to the sake, without adding sweetness. For dry sake drinkers, this might be the best nigorizake you've ever had.
-
Light and mildly sweet with fresh fruit and soft acidity. Easy drinking. Dangerously easy drinking. Directly in the middle between 45 and 23, this sake is the go-to menu option when one doesn't know where to turn.
-
The best sakamai, Yamadanishiki was polished down to 50% of original size, this seasonal limited Hiyaoroshi sake has an enticing and elegant aroma of peach and pineapple. Its delicate sweet and sour flavor finishes nicely and smoothly in your mouth.
-
A lovely rose-colored sake that exists within a sphere of balance between sweet and tart, and has a flavor that resembles strawberries and honeydew melon. Brewed with the exceedingly difficult-to-use red yeast, it has been said that if a Junmai Daiginjo is the most difficult grade of sake to brew, this Rosé Junmai Daiginjo was 10 times as difficult, so many brewers are unable to work with it. For ultimate fruity freshness, keep refrigerated.
-
“Nama Genshu” means sake which is unpasteurized and undiluted. Sake is almost always pasteurized twice and water is added to adjust aroma and flavor, to lower alcohol content before bottling, but this sake does not go through those processes and retained its integral structure and body.
-
This is the flagship product which is made by carefully refining of the rice “Yamada Nishiki” polished up to 40%, and brewed with the skill and heart of the chief brewers. It is a Sake that drinks smoothly with a deeply elegant and rich flavorful taste that is called upon for an enjoyable, relaxing time.
