Union Square Wines invites you to explore the nuanced world of Japanese sake at our upcoming in-store tasting.
This tasting will showcase a diverse range of Kokken's offerings. Discover the refined elegance of Kokken Junmai, boasting a luxurious aroma and a gentle sweetness that leads to a smooth, refreshing finish. Experience the pinnacle of their craft with the Kokken Daiginjo, a Premium Grade Sake with a gorgeous, flamboyant bouquet and a balanced palate of subtle sweetness and vibrant acidity. Delve into tradition with the Kokken Yamahai Junmai, crafted using the slow Yamahai method to create a deep, round flavor perfect for warming. Finally, taste the unique terroir of Fukushima with the Kokken Yume no Kaori Tokubetsu Junmai, made exclusively from the local "Yume no Kaori" rice, offering a remarkably fresh and mellow flavor.
We will also be featuring the classic Shirakabe Gura Tokubetsu Junmai Sake. Crafted by the innovative Shirakabegura Brewery since 2001, this sake offers a balanced complexity with inviting notes of pear and nutmeg, leading to a delightful interplay of fruit and rice sweetness on the palate. As the brewery states, this sake represents "a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation."

Whether you're a seasoned sake enthusiast or just beginning your exploration, this tasting promises a delightful and informative experience.
