Discover Miwasakura Shuzo Omusubi

Our chief editor, Roslyn Foo’s favourite from the menu is the Miwasakura Shuzo Omusubi. Made with a high starch rice known as Hattan-Nishiki Miwasakura is a very traditional style of sake. Omusubi has an earthy aroma with hints of enoki mushroom and an extremely dry and savoury palate with a viscous texture.
