This sake would go well with foods like melon, lemon sole, tempura, parma ham, cheese, and tomatoes.
Haneya Ginjo
This sake has delicious strawberry and meringue flavours with a hint of lemon zest. Due to its smooth texture and delicious finish, this sake is a true treat to drink.

The IWC Gingo Trophy for best Ginjo sake in IWC 2021 was awarded to this sake.
Masuizumi Barrel aging Kijoshu
For those who are new to aged sake, this is a great place to start! This drink has a lovely winter spice scent and a silky texture. This sake is a deep yellow colour with a hint of caramel and coffee undertones. It is delicious on its own but also goes nicely with food like dim-sum or cheese. This award-winning beverage received the Koshu Trophy at the IWC 2021. This is Koshu at its peak.
Nigori sake
If you enjoy your Sake on the sweeter, milder side, Gekkeikan's Nigori Sake with its more viscous texture, is a must-have. Nigori sake is distinguished by the presence of some of the solid rice particles that are employed in the sake brewing process. As a result, the sake is sweeter, mellower, and thicker than other variants.

This wine is a great match for dishes that are flavorful and aromatic because of its dry, crisp finish.

Unpasteurized Sake is still uncommon in the United Kingdom. So grab it while you can!
