Product details
This Junmai sake offers an excellent balance between fruity and savory characteristics. The nuanced nose includes notes of salted Asian pear, sweet custard, orange creamsicle, subtle banana, and jasmine. The gently mouthwatering palate has a creamy mouthfeel and a very fine, silky texture with flavors of melon, vanilla, banana, and cream. The finish is very long and savory with cocoa nib, salty plantain, and crushed-rock mineral flavors. At room temperature, this sake is even more savory and a minty flavor appears too.
Grilled shrimp, poached chicken, pork loin, sushi, sashimi, or steamed clams, cod fritters, risotto, or pasta carbonara.
