Take no Tsuyu Junmai
Class: Junmai
Rice: Miyama Nishiki
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 60%
Brewery Location: Yamagata
Food Pairing: White Fish, White Cheese, White Vegetables, White Bamboo, Cream Stew, Gratin, New England Clam Chowder
Tasting Notes: Brewed gently in winter with Dewasansan and Miyama Nishiki Rice received from summer's bounty, which harmonize beautifully. Delicious and fresh chilled, but when warmed it progressively reveals layers of beautiful, soft flavors that had previously been sealed in. Fragrant and full bodied.
