Product description

This sake has a rounded mouthfeel and a harmonious balance of umami and acidity, with a slightly rich and creamy flavor. The gentle sweetness of the rice spreads softly in the mouth, and since it is made using edible rice, the aroma of the rice wafts through the nose. The color is a translucent golden yellow like a rice plant, and it can be enjoyed like eating rice.

Professional Review

"The aroma of this sake is wild and dynamic, fitting for its rice polishing ratio. It has a sharp alcohol sensation and a refreshing ginger senbei note. The texture is light and the rice flavor is clear, without any particularly distinctive individuality. However, the overall balance is excellent, possibly due to its organic nature, and the aftertaste has a strong backbone. It is recommended to try it warm as well."

Pairing Suggestion: Sweet potato tempura, deep-fried tofu, prosciutto, and coriander salad

"The aroma is overall gentle and complex. It has a subtle scent of glutinous rice flour, Korean ginseng, smoked leather, and a hint of oriental spice like cumin. The taste is dominated by a strong rice flavor. It is recommended to be enjoyed in a large glass within the temperature range of 15-50℃."

Pairing Suggestion: If you're drinking it cold, we recommend serving it with pickled smelts or Mimolette cheese. If you're drinking it warm, it pairs well with tripe stew with mustard, Yanagawa-style hot pot with loaches, and yellowtail shabu-shabu with ponzu sauce.
