Shiokawa Sake Cowboy Yamahai

Shiokawa Cowboy Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Genshu is unlike any sake you've ever tasted — a bold, full-bodied, undiluted brew from Niigata, Japan that throws the rules out and rides its own trail. Crafted by master brewer Kazuhiro Shiokawa using the ancient Yamahai method — brewed without commercial yeast or temperature control — this 19% ABV genshu sake delivers a depth of umami, acidity, and complexity that speaks directly to lovers of big red wines and bold spirits. The nose opens with musky tropical fruit, steamed rice, caramel, vanilla, and hickory smoke, leading into a rich, layered palate of umami, lush fruit, cocoa, and cooked rice with a surprisingly smooth and satisfying finish. Built to stand up to the boldest food pairings — steak, Wagyu beef, chicken mole, game, and hearty stews — Cowboy Yamahai is the sake that changes minds and earns its place at any serious table.
