Ama No To Heaven's Door

The farm-to-table sake. Made with only rice, water, and labor from its own prefecture of Akita. SAKE OVERVIEW The epitome of the “local” farm-to-table movement, this sake is made only with rice, water, and labor from its own prefecture. Ama No To translates to “Heaven’s Door,” referring to the prefecture which is at the northernmost tip of Japan. The label image is an icon of good fortune from Amaterasu, the Shinto Sun Goddess who is believed to have brought light to the world and cultivated Japan’s first rice fields. TASTING NOTES Layers of dried flowers and baking spice give way to savory salinity. Slightly dry and medium-bodied. Clean and focused on the finish to accentuate its rice-like qualities. EAT WITH Pork ribs, game birds, or wild mushrooms. Great with pickled or fermented foods.
