Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or new to sake, our collection offers something for everyone.
Our Sake Selection
Sake is a versatile and complex beverage that reflects the purity of its ingredients—rice, water, yeast, and koji mold. Each region of Japan brings its own unique characteristics to the brew, influenced by local climates, rice varieties, and centuries-old brewing methods. At OMY Cellar, we offer a carefully curated range of sake styles, from light and crisp to rich and umami-filled, ensuring there’s a sake to suit every occasion and palate.
• Junmai: Pure, unadulterated sake made with only rice, water, yeast, and koji. Junmai is celebrated for its rich body and umami flavors, making it a perfect match for hearty dishes.
• Ginjo & Daiginjo: These premium sakes are crafted from highly polished rice, resulting in lighter, more aromatic sakes with delicate floral and fruity notes. Ideal for those seeking a refined and elegant drinking experience.
• Nigori: This unfiltered sake offers a creamy texture and sweet, fruity profile, often with hints of tropical fruits like coconut and banana. A playful, approachable style of sake perfect for new explorers.
• Sparkling Sake: Adding a modern twist to tradition, sparkling sake brings effervescence and freshness to the glass, ideal for celebrations or pairing with light appetizers.
• Aged & Koshu: Matured over years, aged sake develops deep, complex flavors reminiscent of nuts, dried fruits, and spices. A rare and bold choice for the adventurous palate.
Tasting Experience
Sake is a drink meant to be savored and enjoyed in harmony with food. Whether you’re enjoying it warm, chilled, or at room temperature, each method of serving brings out different nuances in flavor. At OMY Cellar, we provide tasting notes and guidance to help you discover the perfect sake for your occasion, whether you’re pairing it with sushi, grilled meats, or vegetarian cuisine.
Sake and Food Pairing
Sake is incredibly food-friendly, offering versatility that complements a wide variety of dishes:
• Sushi & Sashimi: Pair light, floral sake like Ginjo with delicate raw fish to enhance the freshness of both.
• Grilled Meats: Opt for a full-bodied Junmai to complement the savory, umami-rich flavors of yakitori or teriyaki.
• Cheese & Charcuterie: Surprisingly, sake pairs beautifully with cheese! Try a creamy Nigori with soft cheeses like brie or Camembert.
• Vegetarian Dishes: Sake’s umami flavors make it a great partner for miso soup, tempura vegetables, and grilled mushrooms.
