Prince Nagaya serves as the perfect complement to the main course of a meal, enhancing flavors in a beautiful marriage of food and drink.
The recipe for Prince Nagaya was created around 710. At the time, people in Japan enjoyed game meats such as wild boar and deer, as well as a product made from boiled-down milk that was similar to cheese. The sake that would become the origin of our Prince Nagaya sake is believed to have been made to pair with these dishes. Prince Nagaya therefore goes especially well with meat, foie gras, smoked fish, cheese, and desserts. Prince Nagaya is a sake that is best enjoyed paired with a wide variety of dishes from around the world, rather than just sushi and sashimi.
