Shirakabegura Kimoto Junmai
Shirakabegura Kimoto Junmai
Class: Junmai
Style: Kimoto
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 70%
Brewery Location: Hyogo
Food Pairings: Mild triple-cream cheese, risotto, fatty meats and fish such as Japanese Wagyu beef & Toro. Fresh Uni offers a match in texture and excellent contrast in flavor.
Tasting Notes: As a result of the exacting methods of the Kimoto process, this Junmai sake presents a robust body and highly nuanced flavors. When served warm, as it has traditionally been served, its innately earthy and fruity notes of apple, creamy cheese, and spice emerge. Chilling is equally recommended, as it will present lighter, delicately nuanced aromas of vanilla, flowers, stone fruit, melon and sweet milk.
