Shirakabegura Junmai Daiginjo
Class: Junmai Daiginjo
Rice: Yamada Nishiki
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 45%
Brewery Location: Hyogo
Food Pairings:
Served chilled: Lightly flavored foods like steamed fish, poached chicken breast, scallops and mushroom quiche.
Served warm: Robustly flavors like sea urchin, salmon (raw or poached), eel and mild soondubu (korean tofu soup).
Tasting Notes: It has a full-bodied palate with a hint of sweetness and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. On the nose, the sake gives off subtle aromas of pear, melon, banana and petrichor, with flavors of vanilla, melon, banana and white mushroom, enhanced by a hint of sweetness. Though traditionally chilled, this particular Junmai Daiginjo can also be warmed, retaining its balance and heightened creaminess, and gaining a stronger umami profile. Savory notes of rice, cream of wheat, and ripe banana also emerge.
