Yuki No Bosha Yamahai Sake
The Den's omakase experience would not be complete without a good selection of Sake. From its carefully selected sake pairings, The Den's most decadent drink is derived from its Edomae-style sushi menu. It enhances the flavors of each piece of fish. The Yuki No Bosha Yamahai Sake and three types of tuna, including Akami Zuké, Chtoro, and Otoro, pair perfectly to perfection. The fresh tuna's fattiness is accentuated by the Yuki No Bosha Yamahai Junmai Sake's natural notes of roasted chestnuts, brown butter, and honey.
