Product details
Hakushika Kuromatsu Fresh & Light Namachozo Sake is a testament to the centuries-old brewing expertise of Tatsuuma-Honke Brewing Co., Ltd., located in Nishinomiya, Japan. This Junmai Namachozo sake undergoes a brief aging period and is pasteurized just before bottling, preserving its refreshingly cool aroma and mild taste. With an alcohol content of 13.3% and a rice polishing rate of 70%, it offers a balanced profile that appeals to both sake enthusiasts and newcomers.
The mildly dry flavor profile (Nihonshudo +2) of this sake makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. It pairs well with Japanese izakaya-style cuisine such as edamame, chilled tofu with leek (hiyayakko), deep-fried tofu (agedashi tofu), karaage (deep-fried chicken), gyoza, robatayaki skewers, and sashimi. Its versatility also extends to modern pairings like Asian salads, carpaccio, and spicy sushi rolls. For optimal enjoyment, serve this sake well-chilled to fully appreciate its delicate flavors and aroma.
