DATE Seven ‘Season II Episode 3 – Suminoe Style’ *PRE-ORDER*

A collaborative effort from Miyagi Prefecture’s “Date Seven” collective, each brewery takes a different step of the process.

PRE-ORDER

Available for shipment / pickup / delivery Thursday, August 21st. 

Aromas of ripe berries and pear with a hint of white sesame.. Medium light bodied sake, surprisingly juicy flavors of bing cherries. Finish is zesty and dry, and clean, with slight notes of orange zest and peach pit.

Elegant and vinous, this drinks like a light red wine, and will pair beautifully with duck breast, roasted summer vegetables or pork loin.

The label features many visual references to Miyagi culture and history, from the iconic bamboo hoops of the summer Tanabata festival to an image of the Sant Juan Bautista, a galleon commissioned in 1613 by the local samurai lord to establish trade with Rome and the Spanish Empire.
