Product details
Masumi Okuden Kantsukuri "Mirror of Truth" Junmai Sake is a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Miyasaka Brewing Company, established in 1662 in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture. Drawing from the region's pure mountain water and locally grown rice varieties—Sankei Nishiki, Miyama Nishiki, and Hitogokochi—this sake embodies the brewery's commitment to quality and tradition. Notably, Masumi is renowned for discovering the Association No. 7 yeast strain in 1946, a pivotal development that has since influenced sake production across Japan.
"Mirror of Truth" offers a mellow and mild-mannered profile, with subtle aromas of fruit and cereal. Its flavor balances the natural sweetness of rice with gentle acidity and savory undertones, creating a comforting and familiar taste experience. This junmai sake pairs exceptionally well with Japanese comfort foods such as grilled fish, yakitori, sukiyaki, and nabe hotpots, as well as Western dishes like BBQ ribs and rich stews. Versatile in serving, it can be enjoyed both chilled and warmed, adapting to various culinary contexts and personal preferences.
