DRY & EARTHY

The Tomita Brewery in the Tiga prefecture is the 3rd oldest Sake brewery in Japan and produces this crisp sake with great umami flavors of dried mushroom and roasted cashew.   Shichi Hon Yari Junmai is made with Tamasakae Rice and is named for the Seven Spearsmen that fought in the battle of Shizugatake outside the town of Kinomoto, home of the  Tomita brewery. Pair with Jamon Iberico, Olives, and Marcona Almonds.

Recommended Serving Temperature: 40°-50°F, 65°-75°F, 95°-105°F, or 120°-130°F

Founded in the 1540’s, the Tomita Brewery is one of the oldest breweries in Japan and is now managed by the 15th generation of the family, Yasunobu Tomita, who is also the brewmaster. The Tomita’s named their sake Shichi Hon Yari, or “Seven Spearsmen,” after the leaders of the historic Battle of Shizugatake which was fought just outside their town of Kinomoto.

Shichi Hon Yari Junmai is the classic representation of the brewery’s style with its traditional and modern dimensions. Earthy and rich aromatics and flavors meet elegance and softness in the finish. The bright acidity makes this a fun sake to pair with dishes outside of traditional Japanese cuisine, including Duck a l’orange and Yukhoe, Korean Steak Tartare.
