Occidental Dry Hopped Junmai

$0.00

Tasting Notes

This distinctive sake begins as a traditionally crafted single-yeast Tokubetsu Junmai. After fermentation and pressing, it is gently infused with dry hops, capturing their aromatic character. Initially, the hops impart a green tint to the sake, which, over time, evolves with oxygen and alcohol into its signature pink hue. Named Occidental, meaning "of the West", it embodies a uniquely American approach to the art of craft sake. Gorgeous nose of grapefruit zest, sake pours with a beautiful rose hue, velvet smooth, lightly honeyed character with a finish of citrus rind.

Overview

Food Pairings: Delicious on its own or a beautiful pairing for rich summer treats like lamb burgers, grilled tuna steaks or roasted pork loin.
