The beautiful SAKEBERTO JUNMAI Sake is carefully crafted and bottled in Japan, using premium Japanese rice and local spring water. It is extra crispy allowing the consumer to enjoy the umami and deep richness of rice. SAKEBERTO JUNMAI is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature, but it can also be served chilled. Warming the Junmai will enhance the Umami flavor and bring slight apple and melon-like aromas, with noticeable acidity, a sense of maturity, and bitterness. SAKEBERTO JUNMAI, which is more full-bodied, can be enjoyed with rich flavored foods.The recommended storage period for unopened SAKEBERTO bottles is about one (1) year.Once opened, they should be refrigerated and consumed within three (3) days. Pairing: Burgers, ribs, and steaks; fatty meats like fish and pork belly; and rice-based dishes featuring heavy seasonings. Italian cuisine also makes an unexpectedly excellent companion.Dishes like caprese salad, pizza Margherita, risotto topped with Parmesan cheese, or mushroom pasta will pair beautifully. And because Junmai brings out the cheese’s lactic aspect, options such as Camembert and Brie offer excellent pairing experiences. Junmai also goes exceptionally well with mushrooms, asparagus, and artichokes. As mentioned above, because SAKEBERTO JUNMAI tends to have a stronger umami flavor, warming it enhances its richness. So even though it is often served chilled, it can be enjoyed heated as well. The traditional way of heating sake is by submerging the tokkuri (carafe) in hot water.
