When you think of sake, you probably think of a small, ceramic shot glass served to you at the local sushi joint. It might be served hot, it might be served cold, but there is an old-world, traditional feel to it. If you’ve been looking to pump up the modern appeal, the Pharrell Williams x NIGO Storm Cowboy Sake might be more your thing.
The Japanese fashion label Human Made celebrates its first Kyoto store with two exceptional sakes, produced by Pharrell Williams and NIGO (founder of BAPE and Human Made). Both sakes are 14.5% in alcohol content, but the Storm Cowboy Junmai has a “sweet and sour taste similar to the flavor of muscat with a strong flavor of juicy rice,” while the Junmai Daiginjo has a “sweet taste of rice with mellow fragrance of peach.”
