Kanpai (means 'cheers' in Japanese) is a Peckham-based Craft Sake producer, established in 2017. As the name suggests, the Kumo (Cloud) Sake is bottled with some fine rice sediment remaining. Made using the Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 70%, it's lightly hazed, with a rich nose of soya sauce, sticky rice cake, pear and a pinch of pepper. Smooth and slightly spiced on the palate, with ripe melon fruits and plenty of citrus acidity to refresh.
