Traditional Sake – This sake can be served warmed, at room temperature or chilled. It’s aged for approximately 6 months for a mellow flavor.

Haiku Premium Select Sake – This sake had a slow fermentation at a low temperature. AS a result, this sake has a slightly dry flavor and had an aroma of apples. It’s best to serve chilled or over ice.
