Product details
Abekan Junmai Karakuchi is a distinguished sake crafted by Abekan Shuzo, a historic brewery founded in 1716 in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Originally established to produce sake for the revered Shiogama Shrine, Abekan Shuzo celebrated its 300th anniversary in 2016, marking centuries of dedication to the art of sake brewing. The brewery is renowned for creating sakes that complement and enhance the flavors of various cuisines, reflecting its philosophy of harmonizing with food.
This Junmai Karakuchi sake presents a dry and clean profile, characterized by ample ricey flavors and a mellow finish. Designed to be enjoyed in port towns with numerous sushi restaurants, it lacks the typical floral aroma and sweet notes, focusing instead on a subtle umami palate. The finishing acidity refreshes the taste, making it a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes. It pairs excellently with raw fish, grilled fish, and yakitori, and is equally at home at a sushi bar as it is at a burger joint.
