This Junmai Daiginjo sake was crafted using 'Gohyakumangoku' rice and local rice from the Tohoku region. It offers a delicate, clear, and vibrant taste profile, perfected to highlight its sophistication. The flavor is a harmonious blend of sharpness typical of Junmai Daiginjo with the richness and concentration that belies its 15% alcohol content. This creates a robust and voluminous feel in each sip. The tropical aromas of pineapple mingle with Koji notes, and a funky character and a touch of anise are present. The texture is soft, and on the palate, this off-dry Junmai Daiginjo presents some fresh pastry notes, a ricey tone, and a hint of anise, finishing with a good length contoured by a touch of spiciness. It pairs well with sushi, fish, and white meat dishes. Serve well chilled (4-8°C).
