Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo
Wine♡ Yamaguchi, Japan · Yamada Nishiki rice (sake)
Silky, clean and quietly fruity, a Japanese pour that suits the book's Osaka setting. Gentle on the palate, with a precision that stays with you.
The Pour
2
Mionetto Prosecco Brut
Sparkling🇮🇹 Treviso, Veneto, Italy · Glera
Light, crisp bubbles with a wry tartness that echoes the book's candid humor. Easy to sip through Natsuko and Makiko's sweltering Tokyo summer.
The Mood
Three women in Osaka and Tokyo confront bodies, motherhood and money with frankness and quiet humour. Visceral and tender, it speaks softly and lands hard.
