Junmai means pure rice — this is brewed from nothing but rice, water, koji and yeast, with no distilled alcohol added to stretch or lighten it, which is the single most useful thing to know when you're reading a sake label. Living Jewel is made in Kyoto from Koshihikari, the celebrated Japanese table rice that turns up far more often on the dinner plate than in a brewing tank, milled to 70 percent. It is named for nishikigoi, the ornamental koi kept in Japanese garden ponds. The style is clean and dry rather than showy: enough body to sit beside a real dinner, enough restraint to stay out of its way. Serve it well chilled, in a wine glass if that is what you have.

Herb-baked salmon, grilled lobster, chicken yakitori, sashimi, or a simple roast chicken. Oysters work well too.

White grape, anise and a hint of sweet steamed rice on the nose. Dry and medium-bodied, with citrus, white pepper and a fresh herbal note. Long, clean finish. 14.9% alcohol.
