Tasting Notes

Big and gorgeous on the nose, filled with aromas of ripe apple, steamed rice, chestnut, lychee, and fresh grass. Assertive on the palate, with a sharpness that reflects the Genshu nature. Bold and demanding of attention, it offers plenty of acidity with a complex, savory finish that tails off cleanly. Aged in-bottle completely undiluted, this sake is made exclusively from the Nakadori (middle) portion of the pressing process, which is considered the best tasting, most delicate, and elegant portion of the press. The Yamada Nishiki rice used is Toku-A grade—the highest grade available from Hyogo's rice harvests—and is harvested from the famed fields of the Toujo District. Only 2000 bottles are produced each year.

Overview

Food Pairings: This sake can certainly be served on its own, but would be lovely with a touch of fat. Consider pairing with savory egg custard and asparagus in the spring, or squash in the winter. It also complements sea bream or madai in winter, fatty tuna, or fall bluefish, whether served raw or lightly cooked. An assertive salad, such as one with bitter greens or a creamy Caesar dressing, would also sing with this sake.
