Why we love this interesting drink

Sake usually comes with a ritual — warm it just so, sip slow, treat it like ceremony. This one's got a penguin on the label and tells you to throw it over ice instead. Kinoshita's been brewing in Kyoto's Tango region since 1842, but since 2007 the sake's been steered by Philip Harper — an Oxford grad turned Japan's first non-Japanese toji, with zero patience for sake snobbery. The brand name Tamagawa can be translated as "Jewel River." This junmai ginjo runs on Yamada Nishiki — the rice growers rate above all others, polished back and pushed to full ripeness before pressing. Rich and unfiltered in style, with honeyed weight up front, a citrus lift keeping it from going flabby, and enough backbone to hold its shape even on ice. Cold, loud, unbothered.
