Sake is a Japanese rice wine, and The Wild Duck carries it in Boston alongside plum wine (umeshu) and sparkling sake. The shelf includes junmai sake, nigori and bottles from Dassai, Tozai, Gekkeikan, Choya and Farthest Star Sake. Junmai is sake made from rice, water, yeast and koji only, and it tends to taste full and dry. Nigori is cloudy and unfiltered, usually softer and sweeter, and sparkling sake is light and lively. Sake is most often served chilled, though some styles suit gentle warming. Umeshu is a sweet plum liqueur-style drink, served over ice or with soda. You can shop sake in store, or order it for pickup or delivery.

Sake is a Japanese alcoholic drink brewed from rice, water, koji mold and yeast. It is often called rice wine, but it is brewed in a way closer to beer than to wine. It is commonly served chilled or at room temperature, and some styles are also served warm.
Nigori is a cloudy sake that is coarsely filtered, so some rice solids stay in the bottle. It usually looks milky and tastes fuller and softer than clear sake. We carry Dassai 45 Nigori Sake, and you can chill it and shake it gently before you pour.
Junmai means the sake is made only from rice, water, koji and yeast, with no added distilled alcohol. It is one of the main grade names you see on sake labels. We carry a Junmai Sake, so you can see the term on a bottle in our range.
Umeshu is a Japanese liqueur made by steeping ume fruit, often called Japanese plums, in alcohol and sugar. It is a different drink from sake. We carry umeshu such as Kokuto Umeshu, Uji Green Tea Umeshu and Umeshu With Fruit.
