Maneki Wanko, 'Lucky Dog' Saké Juicebox
Maneki Wanko, 'Lucky Dog' Saké Juicebox
Sake from the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan, famed for Miyamizu: excellent mineral rich water for sake making. Slightly soft and light, neither sweet nor too dry, yet with plenty of flavor and character. Comes in a cardboard "juice box."
Why You'll Love It:
It's the summer of sake, and this is a deceivingly easy-to-drink version. The juice box format may seem unusual in the US but it's very common in Japan, perfect for those eager to sip delicious nihonshu while taking a stroll in a park or public place. For us, this has "beach day" written all over it.
