Product details
Kitsukura Barrel Aged Tarusake showcases a centuries-old Japanese maturation tradition using small, handcrafted Yoshino cedar barrels. Matured for three to six months, this carefully prepared expression develops its distinctive cedar character through contact with the natural wood. A small addition of older sake at the final stage helps refine the profile and maintain consistency, preserving the traditional character associated with Kitsukura’s barrel-aged collection. Rooted in time-honored Japanese craftsmanship, it offers a distinctive expression of Yoshino cedar maturation.
Medium-light in body, this clear and mellow expression features a subtle woody character, delicate brown spice notes, and the distinctive, mellow aroma of Yoshino cedar. Its balanced profile complements a variety of dishes, including seafood paella, black and blue steaks, hamachi kama, and roasted gamebird served with sweet potato.
