Momokawa
The heart and soul of the company. Momokawa is our traditional set of Junmai Ginjo sake’s named in honor Momokawa Japan who helped us build our brewery, craft our style and learn the age old mysteries of brewing fine saké.
Four very distinct sake’s make up the Momokawa brand. Beginning with Silver our driest, followed by Diamond, Ruby and rounded out by Pearl our Nigori Genshu (unfiltered and cask strength). Each offers its own flavors, body and rich characteristics true to traditional saké.
Silver
Style: Junmai Ginjo: Made with only rice, water, yeast and koji with the rice milled to 60% of its original size.
Tasting Notes: Aromatic, crisp and dry, mineral and steel notes with hints of green apple and pear. The crisp, briney mineral flavors make Silver an exquisite match for oysters and fish.
Pairing Notes: Wonderful with traditional Japanese cuisine, sushi & sashimi yet is a perfect pair with light fish and chicken dishes, fresh salads and mellow cheese. Imagine pairing with a sushi sampler of unagi, hamachi and maguro with a side of crisp tempura vegetables.

Pearl
Style: Junmai Ginjo Nigori Genshu: Made with only rice, water, yeast & koji with the rice milled to 60%, it is cask strength and roughly filtered.
Tasting Notes: This old style, roughly filtered saké is an amazing experience. Pearl offers notes of vanilla and pineapple with banana, coconut and anise rounding out a creamy body.
Pairing Notes: Balances spicy dishes like Thai and Latin yet is a perfect match for rich chocolate deserts, fresh raspberries and strawberries. Enjoy with steak, barbecue and hearty dishes. Pull together an evening with spicy barbecue, crisp grilled vegetables, wild rice and a layered chocolate cake with raspberry sauce drizzled liberally. Or simply enjoy Pearl on its own.
