Denshin Aki Hiyaoroshi Junmai "Autumn" 2026

The nose on this fall draft sake that is single-pasteurized is a fun collection of apple pie, pear tart, raisin, fig, lavender, oregano, green apple, cake batter, and white strawberry aromas. Always a store favorite, you can’t beat the price or flavor profile of this brew. It’s the big three: soft, smooth, and cold! It’s also slippery, silky, velvety, off-dry, and medium-bodied with a long walnut skin finish. Look for cooked pear, brown sugar, ripe melon, cashew, lemon, fresh vanilla, raisin, Whoppers, blueberry ICEE, White Rabbit rice candy, and honey flavors that roll through the palate with an umami glide. Awesome autumn sake.
