Yukikage Tokubetsu Junmai "Snow Shadow"
- In stock, ready to ship
Yukikage is clean and crisp, effortlessly evoking an alpine waterfall or high elevation meadow dotted with sweet-smelling wildflowers. This low-volume, pure prettiness-- Japanese tasting notes sometimes call it "gorgeousness"--is a seriously good deal at $26/btl and one of my top recommendations for parties, weddings, and big groups.

Kinshihai Shuzo has won gold medals at the Japan national sake competition in 2014, 2012, 2011, 2009, 2007, 2006, 2005, etc. Yukikage “Snow Shadow” won the gold award at US National Sake Appraisal “Joy of Sake” in 2006.
Yukikage is light and easygoing, a great choice for a simple glass pour on its own or with just about any fresh-tasting cuisine. Crab canapes with yuzu kosho, silken tofu hiyayakko, cold soba noodles, chicken breast yakitori with fresh-grated wasabi, crudites and dip, and hiyashi chukka!
