A traditional Japanese sake matured in cedar (taru) barrels, giving it a distinctive aromatic and savoury character rooted in classic brewing methods.
Clear and pale in appearance, it opens with pronounced aromas of fresh cedar, sandalwood, and subtle spice, layered over notes of steamed rice. The palate is dry and structured, with gentle umami, crisp acidity, and lingering woody notes that carry through to a clean, refreshing finish.
Best enjoyed slightly chilled or at room temperature, this taru sake pairs especially well with grilled fish, yakitori, tempura, and richly flavoured Japanese dishes.
