Senkin Immortal Wing Classic Muku Junmai Daiginjo
Senkin Immortal Wing Classic Muku Junmai Daiginjo
Class: Junmai Daiginjo
Rice: Yamada Nishiki
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 50%
Brewery Location: Tochigi
Food Pairings: Trout meuniere, minced cod, deep fried goby fish, grilled sand-smelt with salt, bigfin reef squid sashimi, poached greens with soy sauce, seared chicken breast tataki tossed with plum meat, soba, vinegared octopus, thinly sliced flounder sashimi with ponzu, deep fried fresh water shrimp with lemon.
Tasting Notes: Bright flavors evocative of lychee and cranberry simply pour out of it, lending a crisp and refreshing character to this 100% Sakura city Yamada Nishiki sake but still allowing room for balance and depth. Part of Senkin's "classic" series (meaning that it was brewed with traditional methods) Senkin Classic Muku is an extremely versatile and complex sake that pairs well with a variety of foods, and which carries both umami and acidity to the palate smoothly and naturally. The brewery encourages drinkers to try enjoying their sake out of Boudreaux wine glasses to maximize the sensory potential of their brews.
