Ryujin “Bull Rider”
Ryujin “Bull Rider”
Class: Junmai Daiginjo
Rice: N/A
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 50%
Brewery Location: Gunma
Food Pairings: Great compatibility with meat dishes and sweet sauces, but can be paired with many cuisines.
Tasting Notes: Bull Rider features a gorgeous aroma full of juicy tropical fruits such as Fuji apple, banana, pineapple, mango, and pear with floral notes of orange blossom and lily. Bull Rider's entrance onto the palate is clear, round, and sweet, but quickly turns impactful as sharp acid comes out to play making this sake juicy with a touch of tartness. Bull Rider finishes cool and dry. Like the dance of a cowboy riding and taming a bull.
