Sake
OK, sake might not come to mind when you’re thinking traditional vino, but the Japanese rice wine has the same smooth, aromatic drinkability—especially Junmai Daiginjo, the purest, most elegant variety. Takasago takes its elixir one step further by making it inside of an igloo (yep, a literal igloo) with free-run droplets of water from the coldest part of Japan. Enjoy its clean flavor (with a whiff of fresh pineapple and star anise) in a quiet moment when you’re dining alone.
