Product details
Michinoku Onikoroshi is a bold expression that reflects the rugged spirit and straightforward character of northern Japan. Its name comes from a legendary phrase meaning “dry enough to kill demons,” signaling an uncompromisingly crisp and decisive style. Crafted with an emphasis on clarity and balance, this label has long been appreciated for delivering intensity without sacrificing approachability. Designed to be enjoyed across a wide range of serving temperatures, it showcases a versatile personality that adapts effortlessly to different dining moments, making it a dependable choice for everyday meals as well as hearty gatherings.
The flavor profile is strikingly dry yet clean, opening with a brisk, refreshing attack that sharpens the palate when served chilled. As the temperature rises, the edges soften, revealing a mellow, savory depth that remains smooth and easy to enjoy. The finish is firm, precise, and satisfying, encouraging another sip without fatigue. This adaptable taste makes it an excellent companion to a wide variety of dishes, from grilled skewers and fried favorites to hot pot, breaded pork cutlets, steak, and fresh seafood.
