Class: Tokubetsu Junmai
Rice: Miyamanishiki, Kuranohana, Gin no Iroha
Rice-Polishing Ratio: 60%
Brewery Location: Miyagi
Food Pairings: Excellent with white fish, either marinated or meunière; herb-roasted or teriyaki chicken; sauteed mushrooms; steamed carrots and cauliflower.
Tasting Notes: The wilder younger brother to Blend 001. Moderately aged, this sake has a pale golden color with cool undertones. On the nose, it has a beautiful pear-like fragrance with citrus notes. Its mild, long-lasting sweetness is accentuated by a slight bitterness that lingers on the palate. Exquisite notes of dried pineapple, apple and mango are also present. Pairs perfectly with a variety of savory dishes, particularly those that are herbaceous. It also complements and balances dishes with lightly fatty or rich ingredients.
