Served chilled this Classic Junmai Sake offers a very fine texture with harmonious aromas and flavors of macadamia nuts, Chai spic (cardamom, nutmeg), vanilla, heavy cream and freshly sliced bread. Served at room temperature, notes of mineral, crème fraiche, sourdough bread, custard, umami and apples emerge. When warmed to around 100°F, the texture and flavor build, bringing out more intense umami while still retaining softness of texture. Savory elements of salted custard, cocoa nib, banana bread, toasted nuts, and minerals are evident.
Food Pairings: Lightly seasoned foods, including egg dishes, noodles, rice, sushi, and shrimp tempura. Also complements moderately flavored firm white cheeses, such as gruyere, manchego, cheddar, and young creamy cheeses such as Brillat Savarin and Saint Andre.
Class: Junmai
Rice: Calrose
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 70%
ABV: 15%
Size: 180ml, 750ml, 1500ml, 18000ml
