SEMPUKU KARAKUCHI Keg of Honjozo Japanese sake

Dry and refreshing, this umami-rich sake is easy to drink and will accompany both an aperitif and your cooked dishes. Packaged in a beautiful little barrel in the traditional shape, it is an ideal gift for all lovers of Japan. The nose is of nuts, it offers a warm cocoa side. There are also notes of root vegetables and black pepper. The attack is fresh, it is dry. We find roasted cereals like wheat, and cooked rice. There is power, character with a velvety touch. The aroma is discreet before giving way to a surprising and delicate fruity finish of pear and quince paste. There is a bit of saltiness and a hint of bitterness that cleanses the palate after tasting. Food pairing ideas: Pot au feu, roast chicken with potatoes, tuna sashimi, scallops seared with saffron.
