SAKURA WO DOZO Sake Junmai Yamahai Genshu 720ml

Powerful and expressive sake, excellent both at room temperature and heated. The nose is aromatic, fresh, green. We find the traditional touch of Yamahai with these notes of undergrowth, citrus and mushroom. The second nose opens with brighter notes of juicy white peach and cooked rice in particular. The palate is fresh with a sweet umami immediately upon attack. This develops in the mid-palate with a hint of bitterness. We discover notes of root vegetables and mushrooms, with a lovely salivating acidity. The finish has a hint of alcohol with umami and hints of apple, rice and white pepper. Warmed, this sake has an invigorating, almost spicy acidity with beautiful aromas of rice and peach. The finish is direct, drier with still plenty of umami. Alcohol content: 18% Serve in a wine glass at room temperature (18°C) or in a traditional ochoko glass, warmed to 45°C. Food pairing ideas: Linguine with porcini mushrooms, truffle risotto, langoustine with lemon mayonnaise, duck gizzard salad with lime.
