True Sake Verified independent store

→

This Tokubetsu Junmai is said to be brewed for whales that reside off the Pacific Coast of Kochi Prefecture. The nose is a collection of rose, wood, and grape scents. The brewery a dvertises that this Junmai is "for the serious sake drinker" and we agree. It is very dry throughout the mouth, and ends in a He-Man™ sort of finish. Nevertheless, there is a strong presence of fennel and hops, underscored by an unripe strawberry vein. It is extremely clean in viscosity and texture, and flavorful enough to drink all night! WORD: Hops WINE: Dry Whites/Strong Reds BEER: Hoppy Ales/Pilsners FOODS: Vegetable tempura, albacore sashimi, salads with ginger-soy dressings. Show more
