CATEGORY WINNER: SakéOne G Joy Genshu Junmai GinjoUSA$17.39 +6006Sake: is it beer or wine? Actually, it’s both brewed and fermented, but that doesn’t matter. The truth is that sake is brilliant with food—Asian and Western. Sake comes in an array of styles and weights, and our judges loved the balance and hefty flavour of this bold and smartly packaged rice wine. Hand-crafted in Oregon using ancient Japanese techniques and premium American rice, it’s a perfect fusion of East and West, like our city.
