Product details
Amabuki Shuzo, a distinguished sake brewery with a 300-year history rooted in the Genroku period, is located in Saga Prefecture, Japan. The brewery is renowned for its innovative use of flower yeasts, a unique approach that imparts distinctive aromas and flavors to their sakes. By harnessing yeasts derived from various blossoms, Amabuki crafts sakes that embody the essence of nature's floral diversity.
One exemplary creation is the Amabuki Sakura Fubuki, a rose-hued nigori junmai sake that engages the senses from the first glance. This sake is meticulously brewed using local Saga rice and purple Forbidden Rice, fermented with cherry blossom and strawberry blossom yeasts. The result is a vibrant and fruity aroma featuring notes of red cherries, golden apples, bananas, and candied citrus peels. On the palate, it offers a savory and satisfying experience with flavors of apples, pears, marzipan, and Sakura-mochi, culminating in a lasting umami finish. The silky texture, reminiscent of delicate cherry blossom petals, enhances its elegance. Amabuki Sakura Fubuki pairs harmoniously with a variety of dishes, including rare steak, potato salad, BBQ ribs, and fried foods, making it a versatile choice for diverse culinary experiences.
