Kubota Seppou Yamahai "Black" Junmai Daiginjo
Class: Junmai Daiginjo
Style: Yamahai, Seasonal, Limited
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 50% (Koji) 33% (Kake)
Brewery Location: Niigata
Food Pairings: If serving this sake warm, foods such as tempura, dumplings and fried chicken/fish are amazing. If served chilled, this sake drinks incredibly well with crudite w/ creamy dips, salads, sashimi and mild-flavored cheese such as goats milk gouda or cows milk cheddar.
Tasting Notes: A special Kubota seasonal release, "Seppou" can be served at all temperatures. Warming this sake releases all that Yamahai power and unleashes richer, rounder textures, whereas serving it cold increases the sharpness of its design.
