Product details
Made from the heirloom Omachi rice, this lightly off-dry and fragrant Junmai Daiginjo is brewed using traditional methods. All of the rice is sourced close to the kura, and the rice is grown with the same water used to brew. Unfiltered, undiluted, and unpasteurized, this spends time aging in bottle before release. A rare and special sake to pair with matsutake rice.
Food Pairings: Shuto, Miso Dengaku, Scallop and Bok Choy Cream Stew, Sweet fish rolled in Kelp, Roast Chicken with Cream Sauce, Beef and Pepper Stir-fry, Shoyu-marinated Salmon Roe, Cuttlefish Okizuke, Nii Daikon dressed with simmered miso, Snapping Turtle.
Tasting Notes: Only 1250 cases are brewed each year of this rare treat - the Omachi edition of Senkin's "classic" series, which is made using traditional sake brewing methods. Finely textured and elegantly layered, this lively Junmai Daiginjo born from Japan's historic first sake rice displays flavors of peach, sage, melon rind and freshly husked rice. The bright, umami-rich, dynamic sake holds up well when paired with robust dishes, and it is perfect to serve alongside dishes heavy in salt, fat, brine, cream or umami.
