Notes: "Soft and smoothly contoured with a touch of balsam and tangerine, this demure junmai is made by Uchigasaki Brewing Company, the oldest brewery in Miyagi Prefecture, founded in 1661."

Food pairing: "Sawayaka’s easy, effortless drinkability makes it a good match for both kaiseki delicacies and simpler fare—it makes almost any food taste better. Best cold with sushi and sashimi, at room temperature for cooked dishes."
