Kubota Seppou Soujo "White" Junmai Daiginjo
Class: Junmai Daiginjo
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 50% (Koji) 33% (Kake)
Brewery Location: Niigata
Food Pairings: If served warmed this sake is great with warm, winter dishes like broth, roasted vegetables and clean proteins. If served cold, this sake is fantastic with lighter fare such as crudo of veg/fish etc. as well as with mild, creamier cheeses.
Tasting Notes: This Junmai Daiginjo has bright acidity which if warmed sails into another dimension of rich, creamy intensity. This seasonally released sake literally means "white" and it is aged at near freezing temperatures to preserve aromas and freshness which can be likened to flavors around hanami; bright, elegant and teeming with life when served chilled.
