Umi - Sushi - Sake Menu

$15.00 / Ohyama - "Big Mountain" / A very user-friendly clean sake with subtle fruit components of watermelon and grapes. / Yamaguchi Prefecture / Junmai Ginjo / smv +3.0 / acidity 1.5

$16.00 / Akitabare Koshiki Junzukuri - "Northern Skies" / A semi-dry Junmai that is smooth and balanced and perfect for most dishes at Umi. / Akita Prefecture / Junmai / smv +3.0 / acidity 1.8

$18.00 / Shirakawago Sansanigori - "Bamboo Leaf" / This "unfiltered" – Nigori – sake is a mouthful of goodness, look for hints of coconut! / Gifu Prefecture / Junmai Ginjo Nigori / smv +1.0 / acidity 1.5

$19.00 / Urakasumi - "Misty Bay" / A medium-dry sake that excels in balance and structure and is a "perfect" Junmai. / Miyagi Prefecture / Junmai / smv +2.0 / acidity 1.3

$21.00 / Kasumi Tsuru Shiboritate Namazake Genshu - Shiboritate means “just pressed,” Namazake means “unpasteurized” and Genshu means “undiluted.” This seasonal sake is a perenniel favorite and for good reason. It is lively, powerful and dynamic and can be enjoyed chilled and “neat” or served on the rocks. The addition of ice “loosens up” the sake and reveals sweeter, nuttier notes. It also makes for a fun, spring cocktail. Served chilled and neat, this sake has great impact and a firm backbone. Thick but not heavy or syrupy, just solid. Delicious above all else. / Hyogo / Namazake Genshu / smv +1.7 / acidity 1.5
