Food Pairings: Ideal with red meats, game, mushrooms, oily fish, shellfish and pressed cheeses.

Tasting Notes: A classic, beautifully complex sake, lively and woody. Notes of mushrooms, soy sauce and cocoa, with wonderful depth and roundness on the palate. An impressively long finish, with lovely lactic and herbal acidity.

Shiki is crafted using an ancient fermentation technique known as the Bodai method, originating from a temple in Nara, Japan. This traditional method had almost disappeared with the rise of mass production.

"Form is emptiness." The crunch of footsteps on fallen leaves, the rustling of the wind as it sweeps through them. The suddenly richer scent of earth and humus. In Japanese, Shiki means form, the world of phenomena.
