Product details
Juji Asahi Kairyo Junmai Genshu is a bold and uncompromising sake crafted with precision and tradition in Izumo. Made from Shimane-grown Kairyo Omachi rice polished to 70% in-house, this genshu (undiluted sake) is fermented with the lively Kyokai No. 7 yeast, delivering an intense and dynamic profile. The brewing process, renowned for its voluminous high foam during fermentation, contributes to the sake’s robust character. Expect powerful rustic flavors with notes of cocoa and spice, a pronounced dryness, and an almost whiskey-like smokiness that adds remarkable depth.
Undiluted for an exceptionally full-bodied experience, this junmai genshu is best savored at room temperature or gently warmed to highlight its complexity. Perfectly suited for rich, hearty dishes, it pairs beautifully with bolognese pasta, aged cheeses, and lamb, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy bold, flavorful culinary adventures.
