Local Sake


Masa Shiroki make sake on Granville Island in Vancouver.  He is unique in that he handmakes a small number of sake in unusual style.  He like his sake full and flavourful, quite a different style than the typical clean and crisp style of premium Japan sakes.  This nama sake is quite that way, the mouth feel is full and the fruitiness is also full and upfront.  It is complex but not a lot of subtleties.  Come to think of it, it goes better with our international cuisines here than most from Japan.
