Ohyama Tomizu Tokubetsu Junmai "Special Water"

True Sake Verified independent store

→

The nose on this Tokubetsu Junmai that drinks very much like a Ginjo is an array of white grape, apple, pear, cucumber, and berry essences. This is not your usual dry and simple Oh yama. Rather, it is a very impactful brew with layers of powdered sugar, sweet rice, apple, and young pear flavors. A super flavorful sake that drinks silky smooth and juicy, but is not overtly sweet. There is a little astringency that speaks to wine drinkers. A smaller cup highlights the flavor ride. Good fruit tones, good feeling, and good sake that speaks the Yamagata-style of flavor and feeling. WORD: Flavorful WINE: Crisp Reds/Tight Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Steamed cuisines, lightly flavored dishes, sushi, sashimi. Show more
