ABOUT

Bold character takes center stage with Shiokawa Cowboy Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Genshu. Brewed by the family-run Shiokawa Brewery in Niigata, this undiluted sake embraces the traditional Yamahai method to create exceptional depth, vibrant acidity, and an unmistakable savory edge. Rice polished to 60 percent builds a sturdy foundation while natural fermentation develops layers of umami that unfold with remarkable precision. Every sip feels purposeful. Notes of vanilla, cocoa, and hickory smoke weave through its rich texture before a clean, dry finish keeps the experience balanced and remarkably food-friendly.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Aromas of vanilla, cocoa powder, toasted grain, and gentle hickory smoke rise from the glass with striking warmth and inviting complexity.

Palate: Rich and concentrated. Deep umami, roasted cocoa, subtle spice, and creamy rice flavors build steadily while lively acidity keeps the palate energetic.

Finish: Long, savory, and pleasantly dry. Delicate smoky notes and lingering earthiness fade gradually, leaving a polished impression that invites another pour.

FOOD PAIRING

Robust dishes bring out this sake's best qualities. Pair it with grilled steak, stir-fried beef, chicken mole, slow-braised short ribs, beef stew, smoked pork, or mushroom-forward recipes to complement its earthy richness and vibrant acidity.
